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. That is the question asked by Karl Fisch on his blog page >here< .
The truth is that I am not really sure. This kind of goes back to my last post about who is a technologically literate teacher. I for sure think that you should evolve as a teacher by keeping up with what the world is doing and using updated tools to teach the children, but I don't think it makes you a bad teacher to not know so much about computers and such. I do think it could be considered ignorant to not give it a try. If you are just dead set on not being a part of new technology and sticking to the books and blackboard. If you are not willing to try new ways of teaching and exploration with new resources then you should not be a teacher.
