Why can't I be your teacher?

Dear petit digital native, 

I must confess that you have been the most valuable inspiration in my teaching life. I am writing to you to tell you that I know the Internet. May I meet you on the web? Sure, I need to be literate to relate pupils like you, digital natives. I want to teach you in a "new school," make you jump, walk, sing, dance, draw, act, chat, and play games, virtually and/or live. By the way, I use a computer when I teach. I will be your teacher and teach you using the Internet. I use technology, and it does not scare me. You will learn how to be safe on the net. Likewise, I have been on Twitter, Facebook, surfing, and blogging. I am not afraid of making online connections. Of course, you are ready, and I will prepare you for the world you live in. Yeah, it is my "business," my job.

Nevertheless, I am afraid I have to disagree with the idea that everything you want to learn is entirely technology. Why not doing hands-on explorations such as building castles on the beach, preparing a delicious dessert, telling tale stories, acting in a play, painting on the wallpaper, feeding animals on a farm, etc. Technology is definitely part of our lives, but there are other ways of learning you should try out.  

We are looking forward to interacting with you, in-person or online.

Sincerely,

Your networked teacher.
