Karl's post from September of 2007 proved to be very...well...shocking. I must say, however, that I do agree with his point....Teachers today that are not technologically educated are like teachers in the past who could not read or write. It is unfair for certain students to have teachers who do not incorporate technology into their teaching methods. This could severely hurt the child in the future because other students are receiving this type of education and information is more accessible for the child.
Karl also mentions that Headteachers and Principals who have staff who are technologically-illiterate should be held to account. This is very true! If teachers don't understand computers that is not their fault, but they should be taking steps to learn about computers and have a better understanding of how we can use them for education. If THEY don't take action, the principals should. There are workshops available and research that can be done online to where anyone can learn at least basic computer skills. If the teacher hasn't learned it, they can't teach it!
