Cool Cat Teacher Blog where remarkable teachers learning about teaching

What more can I say?

Stop debating whether things have changed. Pick up and say, “What do I do now!”

The good old days weren’t any better than today and they had change too.

The leaders and trailblazers of today will be recognized as visionaries tomorrow.

Today, we’re just “different.” People want to change but they want people to help them who won’t talk down to them, will explain things in simple terms, and understand that they don’t “get it” in a millisecond and need to ask questions.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki

Hi Vicki,

This video really makes you/me/us think. As far as what do I do now, well, today I told my first class to go home tonight and start a blog. The adventure begins.

Vicky,
This is WONDERFUL!
I’m teaching a graduate course on Language Arts and Technology and this video should provide a very interesting conversation on our discussion board.

Wow, that video is really cool! My name is Rachel and I just found your blog the other day because I have a research assignment about blogs for my English class at Texas A&M University. As a pre-service teacher myself, I decided to do paper about teachers who blog and the benefits of it. We had to post an interesting blog we found on our own blog, and I posted about yours. I hope you don’t mind. I think it is phenomenal. I have learned so much about the blogging world and web 2.0 just from reading it and clicking on your hyperlinks. Anyway, keep up the great work. My blog is Rmarie86.blogspot.com.
