Over the past decades, the demands placed on education systems have changed. Workers in the labour market need certain competences such as technical, methodological, social and personal competences. The aim of education today is to create a new educational paradigm that prepares the workforce of the future for the new challenges. This change is accompanied by the introduction of new didactic concepts such as blended learning, which combines the advantages of face-to-face and online learning with the use of digital teaching tools that can help develop the desired competences.

After over thirty years of teaching, I felt bored with my traditional technics and wanted to find some inspiration, as well as improvement. My motivation, to search for the updated coaching methods, was an eagerness to get my classes more challenging and more exciting. Determining how to teach with technology has assisted me to make progress as an instructor and a scholar. Educational activity with technology can deepen student learning by supporting instructional objectives. Nevertheless, it can be challenging to choose the “best” tech tools while not losing sight of your destinations for student scholarship. In the classroom, technology can encompass all sorts of tools from low-tech pencil, newspaper publisher, and chalkboard, to the utilization of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration, and conferencing tools, and more. The new technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. What you use depends fundamentally on what you are attempting to reach.

In recent years we have seen a significant, and long overdue, shift in education from an emphasis on 'teaching' to an emphasis on 'learning'. The focus of attention is now firmly on the learner, their needs, interests and aspirations, at the heart of the education system. This change in ...

This chapter focuses on three interrelated issues which form the basis for most debates concerning technology in education. The first issue is centered on digital technologies’ effect on teaching and learning. The second issue centers on how to make the most effective use of digital technologies in teaching and learning. The third big issue in educational technology debates focuses on teacher professional development, and how to best prepare teachers to teach with digital technologies. No matter whether or how you believe technologies affect thinking and learning, no matter what you think their most appropriate uses in schools are, no matter what (combination of) methods you believe will best prepare teachers to use technologies in their classrooms, it is clear that digital technologies can no longer be viewed as optional tools, available to only a small proportion of the world’s teachers and students. This chapter should help you to begin thinking about where you stand on these fundamental issues.

A Teacher, who is now a FACILITATOR in this generation encapsulates a new order of delivery with extension of a knowledge society and not a content delivery or an interpretation of book knowledge in real life. The innovation is the ultimate to generate interest of learning for the kids today. It mounts a lot of energy and thoughts to be an innovative educator who is of certain requisite to deliver the knowledge to the cyber society of today. The mantra is Engage Me or Enrage Me, from the side of the students at large. As a matter of fact it is true to the world that the teachers are no longer the sole imparters of knowledge but they need to empower the students to learn at pace and at their leisure through personal learning networks keeping their special traits of talents and interests. The teachers just don't end up after the class is over but on the jolt for 24 hours around the cyber linkage or social networks further. There is no wall now or the boundary of learning. The innovative educator has to evolve a personal learning network for his or her improvement first. Not only this, it has to reach to the students as well where in there is no boundary of limitation in a big way. It is a way to build ones' own classroom and one's own network of learning. The change or the shift here is that we can connect around and share ideas which is not so in the one to many mode of classroom learning. The new age imaginative teacher has to be fertile in laminating the knowledge from roots and share the same with his students of all age and figure. It also reflects of a Quality Teacher to share the unknown and the unnoticed with the religious sentiments of repute. We are on look of an age where the teachers are at ease to conduct the assemblies online with students at distance apart to bring connect and pace of learning to happen in reality. The objective has to be TEACHERS substituting GOOGLE.
