THE FINAL WORD (Poll Results)!


Should tech training be required for all current teachers?

"Advocates of tech training believe it is money well spent, but others argue that these lessons are time consuming and ineffective and, without proper follow-up, easily forgettable."

One hundred percent (100%) of the people to took last week's poll on our site think it is imperative that all teachers pass a tech-training course to ensure that students are getting the highest-quality education possible. What do you think?

If the goals for the presidental candidates are to truly move our students nationally to a more globally competitative level it is imperitative that instructional technology courses be part of all Educational Certification programs in our nations' Universities and Colleges.

I definately know that teachers should be trained. There should also be follow-up to help keep them on track. We are training our students to take on a Global environment so Technology Class is a definite must for all teachers.

We appreciate you engaging us in conversation about the poll results. The poll did not exactly specific what "tech training" entails so what do you think it should include? Do you think "tech training" should be defined as basic technology literacy skills or utilizing instructional technology (which twintech mentioned) across the content areas?
