Is it okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher?
I just read a posting from The Fischbowl entitled “Is it okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher?” It talks about a set of proposed standards for teachers and it basically implies that it is not acceptable for teachers to be technologically illiterate. All teachers should have a basic level of technological literacy, otherwise they should not be teaching.
While, I don’t think this is a factor for leaving the profession, I do believe that teachers today should at least have some basic level of technological literacy so that they can remain a step ahead of their students. Personally, I don’t feel that I myself am so great technologically but I learn as I go and these blogs have been great in helping me get there!
