Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

No,No,No, there is no way to be an effective teacher and not be technologically savvy. I do not think that is the only way to reach a student, but it is a big part of reaching today's student. We do not live in a pencil and paper only society, students are doing and learning things online less positive than they should be exposed to and it is up to us to teach them ways to take a computer and further their education.

I do not know of any teacher that has not advanced with the times and accepted computers as a positive way to instruct and reinforce what they are teaching. Every job requires technological skills and if we are grooming the futures work force environment we have to give the every chance we to be competitive in the workforce. School is the foundation for good success and the success includes computer knowledge on every level.

New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

See You Later

You only say good bye to people you never plan to see again, this is more like see you later. I do not like the word Good bye it sounds so permanent. I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
