Ok so I just finsished reading the blog about technologically illiterate teachers and I just have to say that I agree with about 97% of it. I think his manner in delivering his thoughts might have been a little bit rude and inappropriate but I think his thoughts were absolutelty correct. I guess somebody has to be the one to say it and this guy did! I think that it should be required for all teachers to be at least somewhat educated in various technological areas. Whether we like it or not this is a technology based economy and we have to adapt. The purpose of educating students is to prepare them to be mature, responsible citizens of the world we live in and that just will not happen if they are not familiar with all of the technology that is in it!
So to reflect on the need for teachers to be technonlogically educated, I agree with this blog. I think if a teacher is having trouble they should not be ashamed to educate themselves. They should not be proud of what they don't know, they should aim to always keep learning. I am for sure not the most computer knowledgeable person but as a teacher, I will strive to always learn new things that will benefit my students in my classroom as well as in their everyday lives.
