Dean Shareski needs help defining "teacher"

I commend Dean Shareski's blogpost here, where he muses on the changing roles of teachers and, in particular, of good teachers.  Content delivery is less central when 'content is everywhere.'  But engaging, encouraging, and empowering students is still very necessary, as is the role of connecting them to others who can guide and help them.  I don't necessarily buy in to his metaphor of teacher as network administrator, but I do see that connective role as very important to how we can help many students learn today.
