Adora Svitak: Lessons in Technology for Teachers from a Teen.

It is never too late to learn.
A proverb

How to help teachers with technology? Is it possible for just a usual teenager to make big changes? Today I would like to talk about it.

Adora Svitak is a teenage prodigy, narrator of Tech Teachers Tech (TTT), video series about technology and resources to help teachers to engage students in global issues. She believes that 21st century generation, who has been raised in new, technological environment can share their knowledge with older people as well as adults teach us. She participates in conferences and shares her knowledge all over the world. One of her keynote addresses took place at "The New Kid(s) on the Block: Youth Digital Culture and Implications for Student Voice in Education" conference at the University of San Diego.


Adora is an excellent example of a teen teacher. She has a goal and does her best to achieve it. She proved to the whole world that even a teenager can help and share his knowledge with adults. So, who says that it is impossible? 

In our case, it is never too early to teach.
