Technologically illiterate

Is it okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher? Personally I think that everyone needs to know about technology. Even the little children in elementary school knows something about computers. They know how to log on to the computer to type in brats.com, barbie.com, dora.com, spongebob.com, spiderman.com and many more. I believe that the internet is a very useful tool for teachers and students.
So to answer the question is it okay to be technologically illiterate as a teacher the answer is no. The teacher's now are using computers for their role.

Alex can be of help to me when I become a school teacher. Alex has access to some teachers lessons plans that has more experience that I would have because of the years they have over me. It would help to look at their lesson plans to give me ideas.

correcting links that do not work.

There are four reasons that important links do not work:
1) the link is not correctly spelled.
2) Nothing is placed between the two parts of an tag.
3) You forgot to include http:// in the address. It must be included.
4) Sometimes Google does not like a / after the address. Try removing it.

Did you know?

The things that stood out most by watching the film are when they mention that a 100% of the 2006 graudrates in india speaks english. That is amazing for english not to be there first language. Also it mentioned that in 2006 there were 600,000,000 internet devices. I love myspace so the comment about it of course stood out they say that if myspace was a country it would be the 8th largest that is pretty cool. Texting is my communication on my cell phone, the first commercial text message was dec 1992.
I think that the reason for the film is to let people know that after a while the internet is going to be the center of everything. I remember the one thing in the movie was how is the schools helping children become literate in the 21century. I think in this time the children are more familiar with computers than some of their parents. Teachers that are new to the field have to make sure that they are providing the right resources so that the children can stay on top.
