Good teaching is designing educational lessons that are centered around meaningful student learning, engaging the student, enhancing their learning, and extending that learning to outside areas of the students lives (Kolb, 2015). Being a Designer of “authentic, learner-driven activities and opportunities that use technology” (Crompton, 2023, ISTE 2.5).

Good learning is the formation of meaningful learning. Incorporating technology in such a way that it established meaningful learning within the students. This is done through the perspective of technology as a tutee, where student will create using technology not to just learn from using the tool but to learn through the act of creating the tool (Niederhauser, 2013).

While anyone can argue that everything should be worth learning, the main aspect that should be learned is to be an ethical digital citizen. As an educator, it is our responsibility to model safe and ethical practices when utilizing technology so our students can be released into the sphere of social technology creating a positive impact on others (Crompton, 2023, ISTE 2.3).

Thomas & Brown (2011), Herring et al. (2016) and many others have not only shown how educators are the figureheads of the educated teaching the students but in reality students have become educated through learning outside of the standard school transaction of knowledge. The digital world/technology has become the educator where all parties (teachers and students) are equally educated and in need of always being a learner (Crompton, 2023).

The purpose of school is to create a collaborative community and collective of people that foster the learning through established culture of learning (Thomas & Brown, 2011).
