Seventh Post

The Fischbowl blog once again brings up a very good thought about are teachers and students today. Is it okay to be technologically illiterate? After reading Karl Fisch thoughts and the thoughts of Terry Freedman he brought in I would have to agree with them. Its not alright for teachers not to know anything about technology today. Its the future of our country and our students.

The first part of the blog comes from a source written by Terry Freedman , who list standards that should be set for teachers/workers that if not followed could lead to lost of job. Now mind you some of them are a little extreme but the thought behind it is great. The idea that in today's society its socially acceptable to be proud that you can work a computer. It should not be something you are proud of but something you are going to want to fix.

The next part of the blog goes on to say that the teachers need to learn right along with their students, which I think is a great idea. Karl Fisch makes this statement and believes if teachers don't learn as their students do they can not move forward. Like Mr. Fisch said in the coming future the ability to find a job and no knowing computers is going to get harder. A lot of jobs now a days are run by computers or on computers. If the teacher teaching our students don't know computers then what hope do our students have.

This blog is very informative and one of the best questions that needs to be asked today. The idea that our students could be lost when it comes to our future because it will be completely technologically based is scary. These questions and problems need to be fixed now not later. We need to make it where people are not proud they can't use a computer but ashamed they aren't learning now.
