The nerdy teacher: Pedagogical identities for a digital age 

Some see a revolution afoot, and not the quiet kind. Almost everyone at the current moment is affected by vast shifts — economic, social, and cultural — set in motion and then propelled by new and evolving digital technologies and related infrastructures. Consider the ubiquity of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. These did not exist just a few years ago, but they quickly spawned practices that now organize the social aspect of our everyday lives. Our historical moment, with its exponential rate of far-reaching change, its compression of time and space, and a connectivity that juxtaposes diverse geographies, ideologies, and languages, is a radically different one, demanding a reimagining of how we live, work, learn, and play.  

In virtually every rethinking about education, digital technologies take center stage.
