A Vision of Students Today

 Wow so Students really do need more hours in a day.  It is very true that we spend tons of money on books and do not even use them half of the time.  We have to take classes that we do not even need
, like drama, why do you need that class unless you are drama major?  Students do really spend most of their time in way too long class where half the teachers do not know their students names, or care, for that matter.  Students that have full time jobs on top of school never get any sleep because by the time they get home from work, they have an enormous pile of homework.
       That is why  people are so lucky to go to USA, where the class are not huge and the teachers know their students, and try to help( well most of them).

                                                                    It's Not about Technology
             It really isn't about the technology.  Students do learn through technology, but for that to happen, teachers need to be able to use technology.  Teachers have to be willing to learn how to use technology to be able to better the lives of their students.  Teaching is not the same as learning.  Anyone can stand in front of a class and talk, but learning involves comminution between stdents and teachers.
        I cannot stand the teachers who think just because a student needs help, it means they were not paying attention, therfore refusing to help the student.  Like Dr. Strange, he did everything that he could to help me when I was having major blog problems.

                                        
                                                        Is it Okay for a Teacher to be technologically Illirate
I think that is is okay to an extent that a teacher can be illirate, but at the same time, teacher at least need to know the basics and be able to do things on the computer that might better a child's learning exxperience.  
             I think that teachers should have to take a computer class every year.  Teachers have Smartboard workshops, why not computer workshops.  Mr. Fisch is right, teachers could get away with not using a computer in the 20th century, but is is getting harder to get away with not knowing computers.  In a few years, schools probably won't even hire someone unless they are good with a computer.

                         Social Media counts
  This obviously means that people spend much of their time on the internet whether it be educational or not.
