AVC: Hacking Education

I found this quote today:

7) Teachers are more important than ever but they will have to adapt and many will have to learn to work outside the system. It was suggested at hacking education that teachers are like bank tellers in the 1970s. I don't agree but I do think they are like newspaper reporters in the 1990s.A VC, Mar 2009

Teachers who are unwilling or unable to adapt new technologies into the classroom are going to have little place in the modern classroom.  Students who do not have "tech" skills will fall behind the competition.  It is our responsibility as teachers to help prepare students for the future by facilitating their growth in various content areas.  Technology needs to take a position next to reading, writing, and math.
