The Networked Teacher of the 21st century

A few years ago, teachers used to work with the Typical Teacher Network, interacting with curriculum documents, colleagues, popular media, print and digital resources, their families, and their local communities. Nowadays, educators are called the Networked Teachers because we can manage blogs, wikis, videoconferences, chat, social networking services, and other tools for interactive learning and teaching.
Furthermore, we attend conferences, get technical support, and do pro-d sessions from different parts of the world. I'd like to know if our students and I will benefit from this kind of learning. Yes, I think so. We shouldn’t conduct our classroom quietly anymore.
What makes a well-rounded teacher? Just his/her personality, curriculum, pedagogy and practice? No, technology must be included in teachers' daily work. Let's see, which one is better? To use a laptop or paper and pencil; see math problems in 3D instead of doing odd problems; access the most dynamic information rather than printing and photocopying it; select your own learning styles in place of the teacher’s favourite learning styles; collaborate with peers around the world instead of just with your classroom peers.
Up to now, I can’t teach without technology because blogging is learning by sharing with each other, helping others learn, and keeping everyone connected even outside of school/university. In addition, as we know, technology could fail, and things could move very slowly. However, the benefits are more meaningful: I mean, students will edit, link, seek, comment, question, and socialise MORE to be reflective and challenge each other, seeing the opportunities rather than the obstacles.
