I found this weeks reading on the website www.educationworld.com . It was a fantastic read after the long week i had. This article talks about a lighter side of technology in the classroom. The article talks about the questions people are afraid to ask because they do not want to seem dumb, and therefore become increasingly computer illiterate. The article emphasizes that among the most scared to ask even the simplest technology question are Educators. I don't blame them because as educators we are supposed to know quite a bit, but we have to remember that technology is constantly changing and we need to always keep asking questions to keep up with current trends in technology education. Children now a days grew up with technology and we did too but they grasp concepts so much faster.
So i think this article should be read by everyone because it made me think about how scared we really are to ask questions about something we might not know to much on. With this day and age we have to be on the ball when it comes to technology and its ever changing waves to be effective teachers.
