I agree that every teacher should know something about technology. If a teacher knows nothing about the computer then they are holding back their students. Technology is never going away, and educators need to embrace it. They need to know what their students are learning about computer use and keep up. Technology can be a great teaching aid and if you can't use it then your students are missing out. One can not get by without the least bit understanding about computers.
So much is starting to be used. Gradebooks and even lesson plans are now being computer generated. No longer do teachers need to write in a gradebook and figure out averages and curve grades, all they have to do is enter it into the computer, and it does it for you. If a teacher can operate a computer and figure out a gradebook, they are missing out. Technology is a part of life and it is not acceptable for educators to not get a basic understanding. They need to use these materials in the classroom so that their students are getting the best education possible. If students don't get the oppurtunity to use the computer, they will one day also be missing out. One can not get by, if they can't use a computer properly.
