Karl Fisch, in my opinion, has brought technology and teaching into perspective with this post. He has a very strong argument about people being technologically illiterate and how this should NOT be acceptable. What stuck out to me the most was his comment, "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." And to answer your question Mr. Fisch: No! It is certainly not extreme!
This passage in particular is what really made the use of technology in the classroom hit home for me. I think it is important that we think of technology this way. I agree with Mr. Fisch when I say that anyone involved in the educational system, from administrators to librarians, who are not willing to grow, learn and adapt to the new technology, should indeed find a new career path. We must break the cycle that the educational system is in right now. This is Karl Fisch's post:click here.

ReplyDeleteYou are still behind in your posts. You need to catch up now. It becomes practically impossible if you get way behind and you are approaching that point.
