So many resources are being shared daily on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. You can either lurk and learn or develop your own Personal Learning Network (PLN) to farm the best ideas and strategies that are actually working in similar demographics.

Today’s classrooms have more devices, more educational software, more opportunities to differentiate learning based on various student needs, and educators are under more pressure to do more, preferably as fast as possible, with excellent results. However, there is a silver lining. Define what teachers really need.

It is time for the profession of education to catch up to society.
