In a nutshell, "Simon Bates (2016) has provided a model for the Anatomy of the 21st century educator that encompasses the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are identified as the foundational skills required to thrive (and not just survive) in a digital world (Allan & Grudziecki, 2006; Coldwell-Nelson, 2018). The model proposes that all educators must have:
An understanding and appreciation of what research has to say about how people learn.
The ability to curate, develop, use, and share appropriate educational resources.
Skill in discerning the possibilities—and limitations—of technology to support teaching and learning.
Developed professional learning networks through collaborations with other disciplines.
A scholarly approach to teaching.
A willingness to experiment: to try, reflect, and learn from new approaches, pedagogies, and technologies to support learning (Bates, 2016)."
