Today we live unprecedented times and the access of information is overwhelming. Our children no longer just learn in their classroom, school, or community but rather the world is their classroom.  Technology has changed the way we view education and has made the ability of reaching all our students easier.

However there are certain things that can never be replaced with technology

On the top of list would be the ability to make a personal connection and role model for our students.

we are learn more when  we see things in action  and actually being modeled than by just reading about them.

It is our teachers and leaders that need to make those connections and model;

Caring
Honesty
Integrity
Trust
Forgiveness
Compassion

Just to name a few.

It is true the role of teachers and leaders has changed  due to the advances of technology and that we need to embrace that change but something never change and having teachers and leaders be those role models and make those personal connections is as valuable and important today as it ever ways.
