What influences teachers is being the best teacher that they can be. Teachers today did not have the resources like we do today. To be a excellent teacher you have to use the technology and use it to break subjects down and stay up to date with it growing. Teachers have to use it because today that is all students use. People find new and easier ways to learn. They can get involved with other educators and pick their brains on how to simplify information that is easier to retain. To be a good student we use technology on an everyday basis. But we have to be smart with it. We have to be self controlled on not getting distracted with it. The technology for students make it way easier because we can find ways that helps us retain important information on the subject we have problems with.
Leader is the most meaningful. Every class, school, or teacher should have a leader to show them the pathway to success. Every student should have to someone to guide them from right and wrong. Also to look up to. Making sure that others are not falling behind and that they are focus. It does not matter what grade others are in people in this world do not have equal support in homes like some people do. Teachers should make sure that they are okay at home and do not have any problems on information that they are learning in class. Teachers should not ignore disabilities no matter how big the class is or who they are.
Digital native is someone who is born and surrounded with today's technology and knows how to use it and understands it. Yes I have seen a difference growing up but now everyone has caught up to me or beyond pass me. Like for example, in the 3rd grade I transferred from a school that used technology everyday and transferred to a school who were just learning how to use technology so I basically became the go to tech guy in the class and worked it for her to help teach the class. But now since everyone has caught up and passed me I now sometimes have to ask for help it just how things work now a days because technology is progressing.

I had a similar experience to you when deal with technology in the classroom and being the most versed in how to use it. To this day I remain a go to when it comes to quick fixes. I agree with a lot of what your saying, which can always be interesting.
