As a future educator in this modern time, it is a must to practice innovation in teaching and learning in order to become a globally effective and globally competent digital teacher. Furthermore, teachers don’t just teach anymore; they’ve been much more than that for a long time. In our digital world, teachers have become guides, mentors, role models, counselors, and facilitators. They practice to be global citizens, ethics experts, and divergent critical thinkers. It’s time to shine a light on what it takes to be a global digital teacher. So much for that, now let’s look at this remarkable figure through the eyes of Global Digital Citizenship itself. The 5 tenets of the global digital citizen are: As a future global digital teacher these tenets holds very crucial roles in the modern innovative classroom . They include things like: -an understanding of technology and its benefits/dangers to students -knowledge and appreciation of the diverse cultures of our globe -an awareness of local, community, and global environments -moral and ethical modelling that helps students achieve success and safety in online and offline environments -experience with many mediums of technology and communication -adaptability and creativity -life-long learning capability Now it’s time to explore each tenet in a little more depth, and see how it connects to what teachers do. In order for a teacher to practice personal responsibility one must move around the classroom directing and facilitating learning. In doing so, they are modelling ethical practice. They’re shaping the moral and ethical mindsets of students by what they do and what they don’t do. Our learners’ time in school is formative and developmental. They are discovering and learning about themselves by asking questions, making choices, and breaking mental and physical boundaries. Students are exploring, taking risks and experimenting. Teaching is about building relationships. In such a culturally abundant world, global citizenship is the business of every teacher. Fostering productive connections with colleagues and students is part of any educator’s success. Schools are home to different personalities, cultures, and beliefs. Sometimes these conflict with each other, and unfortunately this is inevitable. The role of the global digital teacher is to bring understanding and harmony into such situations. Such strategies include those that work to resolve conflict, mediate disputes, and show understanding. Over time, this responsibility shifts to the students. They learn, through their teachers, to be tolerant of difference while standing up for their own beliefs. They respect their rights and the rights of others to feel safe to be who they are. They celebrate the colours of culture, and the interconnectedness of everyone. But it’s the global digital teacher who leads the way in this.
