This blog was very interesting and I must say that I completely agree with the
author. I can't tell you how many people around my parents age group (60's) that won't
even put forth the effort to learn about computers. It seems that they are almost
afraid of the computer. I think as a teacher you should not only be willing to learn
to use a computer but excited to master using a computer.
In these days most children should be learning how to use computers in the classroom.
Not only will this give them a great start for their future rolls in society but it will also
give them a great resource. Writing papers now is completely different than it was when
I was in high school and that was only 13 years ago. A child has access to library's online,
classrooms online, not to mention a great way to socialize while away from friends and
family. Teachers should be the masters of anything they are expected to teach; computers
are expected and all teachers should be able to pass down complete knowledge to their students.

You are perfectly correct to say that the age groups of the late 50' and early 60s are afraid of the computers. By the way, your mom is only 57, I know that for a fact! I have to admit that I even had to be kind of forced into my situation with this technology course. I do have to say that this course has been the best thing to happen to me to help me Break the ice and get over my fears.
