ROLE OF TEACHER IN DIGITAL AGE

 In the digital era, the role of teacher can be more effective, if along with teaching and learning a teacher is also addressing the social and emotional issues that can affect learners’ learning, and be ready to make changes when the learning seems to be going ineffective. The teacher has a responsibility to help promote learning preconditions such as working habits, attitudes, knowledge and motivation. Thinking through various teaching methods and assessing which possibilities they offer for learning is not just important, but also challenging for the teacher.

No doubt digitalization of education system has tremendously helped students in their study and research. Technology should be used with a plan that how it is going to aid the learning of students not that how it makes teaching comfortable. If it isn’t going to aid teaching and learning then it shouldn’t be used at all. Try and discover what works best for the students which can aid not hinder student’s progress.

There is no doubt about the importance of teacher in this digital era, but the question is if the teacher is skilled enough to assist their students in learning technologies. It is extremely crucial for an online teacher to be more skilled, knowledgeable, and efficient in comparison to the normal one so that he/she is able to answer the questions raised by the students. Technology is evolving every day; therefore, they must have the desire, time and ability to grasp new things more quickly or equivalently as compared to their students. In this web-based-learning culture, technical skills and critical thinking are equally important for a teacher, so that they can think out of box. In this digital era, teachers carry huge responsibility and in order to deliver those responsibilities they need certain set of skills. No doubt that if teachers lack technical expertise, they cannot contribute more in their student’s growth in the 21st century. 

If the teacher has all these qualities, then he/she will be capable of:

* Facilitating better learning in the classrooms and online environments

* Effectively utilizing digital media tools to enhance students’ ability
* Using global education platform perfectly for regular update
* Working with students and help them to grasp new leaning opportunities
* Acting as a mentor and along with teaching and learning is also addressing the social and emotional issues of the students
* Be ready to make changes when the learning seems to be going ineffective.
