Bill Ferriter makes many good points in his article "Taking the Digital Plunge." He is contagious in his enthusiasm for incorporating digital tools in the classroom. He would be a good educator to follow because he has built a network of people he calls colearners who he collaborates with. I like how he states that he feels it is his job as an educator to experiment fearlessly with these digital connections. He feels strongly that this has changed the way he learns.
He also has great suggestions for those of us who are not digitally connected with others. I look forward to checking out twitter for teachers and voicethread. Bill makes a good point when he says that to become an effective 21st century instructor, we must first become good 21st century students.
