Karl Fisch has a strong opinion regarding technological literacy and todays educators. Within his best of September blog, HERE I must say that I agree with most of his points. My mindset has always been, if you can not complete a certain task yourself, how can you effectively teach someone else to? Many times when I was thinking this way it was in regards to physical health. I found it quite strange that the majority of physical educators that I came across were not only out of shape, but were lacking the basic physical skills necessary to perform tasks which they were attempting to teach. I feel that this holds true in any area of instruction. Especially in regards to technology. How can a teacher prepare a student to be successful in todays technologically advanced world if he/she themselves are not proficient in the area.
Teachers of today should be embarrassed if lacking in technological capability. I am not one to go surfing the net for Blogs in my spare time, but I really agree with much of Karl Fisch's rant. I'm glad to have visited his site and suggest that you do the same.
