After reading Emily’s blog Is it okay for teachers to be technologiaclly illiterate, I started to think further into this debatable issue of becoming ‘computer savvy’ teachers. This is a nightmare to most people but I agree that without this kind of knowledge teachers are not preparing themselves for the future. I was positing the question to myself in reflection to this blog ‘Are Students in primary school are better at using and understanding technology than their teachers.’ I think that primary school students are definitely more adept at using technology than their teachers. This is primarily because they have grown up using technology at home and at school from a very young age. It is natural for them to use the computer to play games and use the Internet at everyday at school and at home in the afternoons and on weekends.
I believe that majority of the time students are more proficient than their teachers at using technology where teachers themselves have not kept up with technology and technological trends. Teachers can be afraid to try things new in the tech space whereas students have been born into this way of communicating. However when teachers develop their confidence and proficiency using technology the benefits to all are evident. Witnessing ICT in the classroom can make teaching and learning more engaging, efficient and interactive for all.  Teachers need to become experts in using technology in the classroom in order to instruct their students.
