Fisch Bowl 2007 Best Blog of September

Karl Fisch in is his blog of Semptember basically says that all teachers and staff members who are not computer literate should be embarrased. Fisch believes that all educators should have some sort of computer skills and capability. He highlights that technology has been around for a long time and it isn't going anywhere. He believes that those people who don't have any skills should learn some and fast. He believes strongly that technology and computers should be a way of life for everyone.

Karl Fisch goes on to say that those principals and staff members should be held accountable for those faculty members that are illiterate with the use of computers. I agree with what he is saying because old school educators have to be aware of the times we are living in. Because computer technology can make students become hands on with course material as they go along. I am planning on getting my masters in administration and I would love to design a simple program that anyone could follow to make class time for the students and teachers more interactive and fun.

He doesn't hold anything back for those people who don't have the computer skills that are much needed in this world. He believes that all those old ways of doing things should be thrown out the door to bring in new and exciting ideas and technology. He goes on to say that any school inspector that is technologically illiterate should find alternate employment. LOL!! That was really harsh if I should say so myself. But it is very true. I alot of people are scared of computers. As if the computer is going to come on magically and tell them that they are doing something wrong. I will tell anyone to "come into the light my son or daughter and don't be afraid" LOL!!! Just a little joke.

His argument in this post had a lot of merit to it. Because all the things that he was saying were very true. There are alot of people in the education world who do not know how to use a computer doing very simple task. He is basically saying come on people jump on the techo train and lets get with it. I really enjoyed reading this blog entry. It was very intriguing to read how much he has "NO" sympathy for people who are technologically illiterate. I not saying that I know everything about computers but I am always eager to learn new things and test out new gadgets that come out.
