time planning with colleagues to create interesting lessons that use technology. They also learn with students,
helping them find and use digital tools and solve tech issues together. Teachers use online tools to connect
students with experts and other students from around the world for more real-life learning. Lastly, teachers talk
respectfully with students, parents, and other teachers from different cultures, treating them as partners in
learning.
