People say that teachers are one of the most knowledgeable group in this world. I am not sure when and from where did this statement come. For me, it seems like the statement is true. I agree that teachers are one of them. Why do I say so? Because.... engineers mostly work with machines, and their learning is focused more to machines (of course they also concern on things happen around them but that is for their own satisfaction, not a very serious business). Doctors focus on the diseases and medicines, architects on plans, and so to others, but teachers? How about teachers?
Teachers have very different life from the others. Teachers deal with a very flexible creature - LEARNERS.! This flexible learners are alive!! When ten learners could have ten different behaviours, there would be forty DIFFERENT behaviours that a teacher have to attend to in a class at ONE time.! Try to imagine one student ask about football, another student ask about flowers, another one about movies, the others about tuition, homework, cars, computers, animals, buildings, planets, school issues, world issues, and other thousands of things happen in this world. Imagine how knowledgeable the teacher if he/she manages to answer ALL the questions! In fact, teachers always manage to do so since they know their responsibilities. They have expected all those questions would appear in class and they are always READY for that. That is why what we called TEACHERS - very well-equipped with knowledge and ready to share with others.
Nowadays, teachers' life is getting easier and easier although the challenges are getting bigger and harder. Technology has provided as wide as the universe of knowledge for teachers to learn and master them. Teachers do not have to run to a library anymore, reading hundred different books to learn hundred different topics. What teachers can do now is, switch on their computer or laptop, surf the internet for ALL the topics in just a few minutes. Very easy.!
Besides reading independently, teachers may also have interactions with the experts online. Teachers may ask for suggestions, advices, and share what they have with them. Teachers also could learn on how to be effective teachers, how to improve on classroom management, how to maintain students' disciplines, and many more. It is very easy to improve ourselves when having this great technology in our life.
My advice for teachers outside, and also for myself, although we have to attend classes for five days a week in school, we still HAVE to have our own class at home for our own benefits and improvement. So teachers, please make use of technology to the fullest.
