Fischbowl - "Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?"

Fisch, relays a bold statement in this blog. The statement being that, "If a teacher today is not technologically literate - and is unwilling to make the effort to learn more - it's equivalent to a teacher 30 years ago who didn't know how to read and write." He definitely makes a point. Just how important is technology? According to Fisch just as important as reading and writing. He then asks the reader, "Your thoughts?"

I must say that I agree with Fisch. For a teacher to be technologically illiterate in today's society is definitely the same as the teacher thirty years ago not knowing how to read and right. How are the minds of the future ever to advance without the proper knowledge and advancement of technology? In a nutshell, they won't. It's the same as if someone still used stones to start a fire rather than matches. It is through advancement that the world is what it is today and for someone to hinder that is an educational crime.
