Thing #7b

I came across something very interesting today as I was reading some postings on blogs that I follow, and it directly pertains to this class. While reading Technology & Teaching on David Warlick's blog, I started thinking, once again, about how important technology is in education (also the reason for 23 Things).

He posted a couple of questions he asked people about technology and teaching. The first question was asking if a teacher could still be a good teacher if they don't use technology, and many answered "Yes" but when asked the question if a teacher is actually doing his/her job if they aren't useing technology, most people answered "NO!"

I thought this was very interesting because a teacher's job is to educate a student so that he can be prepared for and successful in later stages of life. In this day and age, not using technology is not preparing students for the future!
