"The Fischbowl"

I would have to completely agree with Karl Fisch. He couldn't have said it any better, "If a teacher today is not technologically literate - and is unwilling to make the effort to learn more - it's equivalent to a teacher 30 years ago who didn't know how to read and write." This is SO true. Almost everything these days require you to be technologically literate.

I also agreed with the point he made about when he was a math teacher, it was almost as if parents were proud that they were never really good at math, but that was acceptable, but not knowing how to read would be totally unacceptable. This is true all the time. I know my parents were the same way and this is really not acceptable in my opinion.
