The Fisch Bowl Is...

BOLD!! I like it. This man speaks his mind and it is very inspiring. Assuming that it is okay for me to speak my mind, I think some of his ideas are extreme. Now, if technologically illiterate means that a teacher looks at a computer screen and does not know where to start, then yes we may have a big problem. But if we are meaning that a teacher is not up to date on the very latest invention, then that certainly does not mean that he or she will not be a successful educator.

I feel that as a teacher, I will be more concerned with the material being presented, and finding creative ways to teach and learn, rather than sitting on my behind staring at a computer screen for hours on end trying to learn new programs. YES, I will try and find interesting ways to incorporate tech stuff into my lessons, but I do not think it needs to be the basis behind education itself. Once again, I wish I knew what the definition of technologically illiterate was. I think it is an important aspect of any field, but I do not feel it is an extreme necessity like it is made out to be.
