Okay to be Technology Illiterate Teacher?

Well of course not, but I've seen it myself when people are not ashamed or concerened about the fact that they can not read or write. They consider their lack of knowledge to be the way things are, and there's no sense in changing. All so very sad, espically for their children whom will carry on their traits and habits. And then someone becomes a educator and might not have the drive to instill any passion for learning to their students, and it is all a shame.
I can see now how I will be able to use all this new technology is the classroom. Not all students will have the drive in them to be their best, but, if a teacher uses the available and advancing technology to instill just a little drive into an otherwise "does not care" student, then you will have changed someone for the better, and just maybe, I'll bet, that attitude will carry over into their children and maybe even their friends and family.
An educator must be an technology literate person, for the good of all the young people, because everyone you inspire to learn will do us all a favor.
