Technology literate schools...

Karl Fisch, a teacher at Arapahoe High School in Colorado, says "If a teacher today is not technologically literate-and is unwilling to make the effort to learn more-it's equivalent to a teacher 30 years ago who didn't know how to read and write". This is very true because all teacher's must learn to adapt to new setting's and environments in order to truely be successful at their job. The need for new ways of teaching students keeps there education going to new levels.
