This document discusses ways for teachers to connect with students and colleagues in the digital age. It encourages teachers to team up with students by being present on social media platforms where students already engage. Teachers are advised to start small by having students locate photos, websites, and videos related to their studies and provide guidance to help students develop critical thinking and good digital citizenship. The document also suggests teachers form email groups and collaborate with colleagues by sharing materials and celebrating successes together. The overall message is that by connecting, collaborating, and sharing through digital tools, both students and teachers can further their learning.
