Response to Karl Fisch's Blog

Mr. Fisch's blog made me really think about the problem with having technology illiterate teachers in the system. This is a tough subject because I agree with what he says, but I also see the other side of the argument for teachers who didn't grow up in a technologically advanced world. Change is a difficult thing to do especially when you don't know any other way. On the other hand, teachers need to be flexible and open to learning new ideas.

I think it's a little extreme to get rid of anybody in the teaching profession who is deemed "technologically illiterate" , but I do recognize that changes need to be made. Hopefully, teachers will become motivated to learn how to use technology as a tool in the classroom. The biggest issue is getting schools to make the transition. Teachers need to become more involved with preparing their students in the 21st century.
