Is it okay to be technologically illiterate?

The answer to that question is, No. Not only is it not okay, but teachers today and especially teachers of tomorrow can not afford to be illiterate in technology! There is no excuse for a teacher to be unwilling to become more educated in technology, if there is room for it. I agree with Karl Fisch when he expresses his disgust for teachers that flaunt their illiteracy as if they were proud that technology is not in their vocabulary. It was very enlightening when he put into perspective that our kindergartners right now will be graduates of 2020!! What future do these kids have if they are educated by teachers that are technologically illiterate?

In conclusion, it is not okay to be illiterate in technology, especially as teachers. Teachers should take advantage of technology as a great tool for learning and growing. Technology should be present in creating a learning environment and should be introduced as such.
