5. The Practice of Connected Teaching In connected teaching, classroom educators are fully instrumented, with 24/7 access to data about student learning and analytic tools that help them act on the insights the data provide. They are connected to their students and to professional content, resources, and systems that empower them to create, manage, and assess engaging and relevant learning experiences for students both in and out of school. They also are connected to resources and expertise that improve their own instructional practices, continually add to their competencies and expertise, and guide them in becoming facilitators and collaborators in their students’ increasingly self-directed learning (Figure 3). Like students in the learning model described earlier, teachers engage in personal learning networks that support their own learning and their ability to serve their students well. ~ US Department of Education (November 2010)
