I've enjoyed reading your comments on my blog posts.  The comments that seem most common are the ones responding to what I said about teachers not having all the answers and teachers being co-learners with their students.  Got lots of agreement on these points and even more support from those of you who wrote about what you learned from your favorite teachers.  This set me to thinking about other roles of the teacher, other than being a co-learner with students and not acting like your know all the answers.  We all know that teaching is a multifaceted profession... a job of many hats.  I'd like to know your thoughts on what the teacher brings to the business of teaching an learning, specifically in classroom interaction with kids. 

Right now I'm thinking about teaching from the perspective of 'big picture', the view from 30,000 feet rather than from the trenches.  My response to this inquire might be something like this: "The teacher is the organizer-in-chief, blah, blah, blah."  The 'blah's being the explanation of what I mean by 'organizer-in-chief' and some examples.  Since this course is ED Tech try to incorporate how technology might be incorporated in the teacher's role.  

This is a blog prompt for the third class meeting, that is, respond in your own blog before our next meeting.  Just comment to this post by entering your name as a comment, thus accomplishing a twofer.
