should all teachers be tech literate?
Yes..teachers have no excuse for not being learners themselves. I understand preferring one method of teaching over another ( only if it works..even if it considered old-fashioned by someone else). However, at least be willing to learn how technology can add to current and past methods of teaching to make it more efficient. What kind of teacher objects to something that might help her students better understand the subject matter?
I understand limited resources are available for teachers. This can have an effect on how much technology teachers use in the classroom. If resources are available however, I feel that state-of-the -art educational technology is well worth the investment if it helps a student grasp a concept that they previously would not have understood or even been interested in. For instance, smart boards were introduced in my senior calculus class..everyone wanted a chance to participate in working out problems just so they could use the smart board. This is a specific example of how technology peeked the interest of bored high school seniors.
