This is a blog by Karl Fisch. It is especially for Arapahoe High School, where he teaches. He says that he annoys his staff all the time, which I think is funny. I like how matter-of-fact he is in his posts. He gives his views and opinions and does not sugar coat them. He seems like he almost welcomes negative feedback and likes discussions.
One post that I read was about how a lot of teachers are illiterate when it comes to technology. Fisch does not agree with that. He thinks teachers should put out the effort to become current. They are teaching kids in the 21st century, so their knowledge should be up-to-date.
He states certain standards that he feels all teachers must meet when relating to technology and I agree. He also 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." Technology is an essential part of the future, so teachers need to quit living in the past, even if they have been teaching for 30 years. What ever happened to continuing education and professional development? Technology should be a part of that.
On Fisch's blog, he has all the blog links for the rest of Arapahoe's different grades and classes. He also has his posts that he made to other blogs. He has all Arapahoe's teacher's blog links posted. He has posted the latest teacher posts and the latest class blog posts, as well.
