Fischbowl: Tech Litericy

The best entry of September 2007 brought up the issue of technology in schools and some teachers being illiterate to it. In the entry he said that in todays society that it was unexceptionable for a teacher to not know any thing about computers. He even went so fare as to compare it to not being able to read. He went on to say that it was cheating the students for a teacher to not be willing to learn about technology.

I believe that his argument is true for the most part however I do not believe that it would be fair to form a view without hearing both sides of the argument. right now I think that all teachers should make an effort to better them selfs as a teacher. weather that is changing the way they teach, incorporating new things or learning about new things like computers or becoming more knowledgeable in their subject. If they are not trying to become better then I agree that the teacher is hurting the student.
