===**Teachers in the 21st century face challenges that their predecessors did not. This is an age of easily accessible material because of all of the electronic media available to students. How do we help our students make sense of all this information? How do we educate our students about information overload from the access to so much information, almost instantaneously, without knowing the validity of the content and the risk of misinformation?** === ===**Effective teaching in the 21st century requires more than a basic understanding of educational theory and classroom management. Teachers must also collaborate with other educators to learn how to implement new technology in the classroom, and how to prepare students for their future rather than our past. Educators are charged with moving our society into a new world filled with technological tools not even imagined a few years ago. We must learn how to harness the power of these tools for the generation of students entering our classrooms. The new model of education should cultivate a culture of curiosity and innovation that ensure our students have the skills to compete in a global economy. We need to inspire and develop excellence in all our students.** ===
