Chapter 2 Connected Educator
The "Connected Educator" written by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach highlights the importance of technology and connecting to various people in various communities. We live in a digital age where it is easier than ever for people to have access to technology. In my future career as a teacher, I will be able to use many things that the book speaks of. Three types of communities that can aid in professional development are the local community, bounded community, and the global network. I can certainly see this aiding me in my future career as I will have to be very familiar with the local community whether it be students or the parents of students. I will have to communicate with parents so that I can do what is best for their children's education. The global community can help me become a better teacher as I will have access to more experienced teachers around the globe. I found communities of practice very interesting as they are communities of people in which share a common interest. People in groups can accomplish so much when a passion is shared.
