What I took away from this article is that if we are going to help students become productive members of society we have to realize where our society is. It is a technological society. Students need role models of what is right and wrong and how to better advance them in this world. I thought it was funny when he talked about people thinking kids are technology savvy, and he indicates that children aren't born with the knowledge about technology, but they pick up the basics quickly. We need to learn assess critical pieces for the students providing them with the good and bad information that they decipher.
The number one standard on nets for teachers is to facilitate adn inspire studnet learning and creativity, indicating that we as teacher need to promote, support, MODEL, innovative thinking and inventinveness. It also states that we need to MODEL digital-age-work and learning. As teachers we need to be up to date with education yes, but with the world in which we live. We live in a technological word and we would be hindering our students if we don't incorperate technology into our classroom curiculum.
