I have just finished reading “Is It OK To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?” and I 100% support the proposed ‘standards” for teachers mentioned. Even though I am not that advanced when it comes to computers, I do believe that there is no excuse in saying that someone is computer illiterate or has no interest in learning about technology. This phenomenon has become imbedded into all aspects of our lives and therefore we need to make an effort to learn, so that we can explore and enjoy it with our students. I think that this quote makes a great conclusion and advice to all teachers:  “You need to demonstrate continual learning, lifelong learning – for your students, or you will continue to teach your students how to be successful in an age that no longer exists.”
