Fischbowl response/ week7

The blog, by Karl Fisch, talks about whether teachers today must be technologically literate. Do they have to know how to use a computer properly? Should all teachers consider learning immediately if they do not have any technological abilities? He says yes. The teachers must be able to do what they teach. Teachers who are not able to understand what they are teaching may not be good role models in technology for the younger generations. Kindergarten children already know how to use computers, the teachers themselves must be able to as well.
I agree with Karl. Teachers must be able to understand the information that they give to their students. I think that some teachers are a little late in learning technological skills and therefore must learn quickly or get run over by their own students. The point of a teacher is to inform children of things they usually don't already know, or prune the things that they do know about. If a teacher knows nothing of technology, how will the students learn at all? Technology is a huge part of school now and teachers must know about it.
