Rita Pierson hits the nail on the head when it comes to inspiring teachers. This video doesn't necessarily cover technology in the classroom but it definitely should make you think about what your classroom should be like and what sort of teacher you should be.
Borrowed from Mr Israel's Site http://ekisrael.weebly.com/blog Kid President is an amazing motivational speaker, he is so young and inspirational. The reason I included him was of that reason. Whenever I am needing a pickup or just want to listen to something thoughtful, he is the first I turn on.
As a model, 21st century teachings are a great way to bring about a new style of learning, however, we were never taught by this 21st style that we are trying to implement. I am a fan of the direct that the education system is moving, students need to rediscover how to learn and build a sense of creativity in this world. This is on my site simply because it is a different way to think about teaching in the 21st century.
