If you are not a Connected Educator you should be thinking about the many reasons why becoming connected is a good thing. I am of the opinion we should meet our students in their element, and for Millennials is all about connectedness.
They do not want you to give them a paper assignment, they yearn for a text message, an email, a Facebook like, a Google+ circle for your class. What they need is for you to engage them and provide the inspiration needed to guide them through the learning process. In order to put things into perspective please, take a look at the infographic below courtesy of Powerful Learning Practice Network and feel free to visit their site as they are hosting many activities throughout the month of August for educators wanting to be part of the connected movement. Enjoy It!
