Can teachers become “rock stars”? We think so. We’d love to invite you to join this group so we can connect and discuss how teachers can elevate their status using technology. As our best teachers gain celebrity status it in turn makes teaching a more desirable profession. And that changes everything.
Thanks for checking out this group and please join and contribute your ideas!!
I honestly think that teaches should study the marketing techniques of movie actors and media professionals. When we teach online- the students see us and we seldom see them. Like an audience watching in a movie theater. This is a great topic! We are not just teachers. We are our own unique brand!
Hi, I like this group! I am a French tutor here, and I also teach about the law of attraction.
You can have a look at videos of my recent classes too:

Hello, All. Bill Smith, Florida Keys. Being a recently retired college prof, I can finally stop going to committee meetings, and start upgrading my professional skils! lol
Andrew, I submit that most rock stars have been teachers all along (admittedly, not always conciously! ;) In fact that was Jim Morrison’s basic premise, and why his group took its name from Huxley’s “Doors of Perception” :)
This sounds like a great group! I love teaching and music… great combination! :-)
A great information source. It begins to just scratch the surface of what will be possible in this venue in the near future. It was more than worth the time & effort.
That was a pleasant experience with good ideas & new directions to pursue. Thanks Jon Rader Jarvis

Teachers or Curators can be rock stars, like Chris Anderson from TED community. I share this passion to spread the great ideas and share the knowledge in technology and so on. When I watch this ted talk: how web video powers global innovation, I believe online teaching can change my life and benefit for myself and others. Thank you. Let’s be rock stars. Be creative too.
