A current project has me compiling the skill set of the 21st century teacher. My search has uncovered this wonderful infographic and list of 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teachers Who Use Technology. Any list that starts with the “Why” will get my approval and the other 6 habits listed do correspond with teachers who effectively use technology to enhance learning.
In case you find the infographic difficult to read a summary of the habits include:
They always start with the why.
They are malleable and can easily adapt.
They embrace change.
They share, share, and then share some more.
They think win-win-win-win.
They are extremely thorough and think two steps ahead.
They actively care.

Understandably Coke has the funds and focus to pay people like Jonathan Mildenhall but any organization with any sort of marketing budget can learn from the focus of Midlenhall and get clear on the content that is fundamental to that organization.

Sir Ken Robinson confirms that the learning revolution has already begun and if we have any involvement with students we can make a difference:
The education system for any given student is the school or classroom they go to… If you are a teacher you are the education system for those kids. So you can change the world of education for those kids immediately if you choose to. If enough of us do that, that adds up to social movement and that is what revolutions is.
Are you doing your part?
