a teacher of 21st century

i've been 4 years in my study to become a teacher. i thought it was a dream. time running so fast. but i still hesitate whether i can be a good or bad teacher. i should learn more. i should read more. but teachers nowadays need not to be worried. there's lots of preferences that they can gain from the net. all information is there with just a click. since Prof. Maznah is away, the tutor conducted the lecture. it was on local links on ICT. i was surprised. i never thought that they are so many websites which designed specially for educators i.e. eduwebtv.com, Cikgu.net, ETeMs and BTP. i think the idea of having websites are so great. it can make all the teachers unite and give ideas towards certain things in very fast mode. children nowadays are growing maturely and intelligently more than we are expected them to be. perhaps, the teachers can't rely on the old method of teaching. the progression of pupils seemed to be advanced each and everyday. i think teachers should utilize the usage of these websites to plan, devise and discuss the teaching method to suit the 21st century learners. besides that, there are so many issues on teachers in school which have been attacked by most parents recently. i don't think that we should blame the teacher 100%. maybe it was due to certain circumstances which can't be avoided. to teachers, use all the websites above to clear things and be a responsible teacher to our precious generation. with technology, we can unite.
