9. 1. Adapting Harnessed as we are to an assessment-focused education model, the 21st century educator must be able to adapt the curriculum and the requirements to teach to the curriculumin imaginative ways. Educators must be able to adapt software and hardware designed for a business model into tools to be used by a variety of age groups and abilities. Educators must also be able to adapt to a dynamic teaching experience. When it all goes wrong in the middle of a class, when the technologies fail, the show must go on.

10. 2. Being visionary Imagination is a crucial component of the educator of today and tomorrow. Educators must look across the disciplines and through the curricula; they must see the potential in the emerging tools and web technologies, grasp these and manipulate them to serve their needs. If we look at the technologies we currently see emerging, how many are developed for education? The visionary teacher can look at others' ideas and envisage how they would use these in their class.
