Okay, so I read the post about being technologically illiterate and I thought that some of the points he was making were very true while others were just flat out rude! Teachers have to be "technologically savvy" when it comes to certain things--such as basic use of computers. I know I had a teacher who, every time something had to be done on the computer--daily, would make me or another student do it for her. I know we were not supposed to be in the particular program because it contained students grades and other information that should not have been available to students such as myself. The statements he makes about teachers needing to know the essentials are very true.
Now, the other part. I thought he was being very rude when he said (in my own words) that teachers who are not up-to-date with technology should be embarrassed to say so in public. Some people, especially older people, see computers as harmful more so than useful. In due time, I think everyone will be using the computer on a daily basis. He just should have left well enough alone when he said that teachers need to know the basics!!
