Are you a literate teacher? I read this posting from David Warlick over at 2 Cents Worth and said, “Wow…if that’s what the students are expecting their teachers to be able to do, no wonder they don’t have any credibility in the classroom when it comes to technology.

Show this list to other teachers, or better yet administrators. Let’s start learning what they’re expecting so we can meet our students needs or at least not be viewed as the village idiots.

Heppell asked a group of students what a literate teacher should be able to do, and they agreed that teacher should be able to:

• upload to YouTube
• edit a Wikipedia article
• choose a safe online payments site
• subscribe to a podcast and un subscribe
• turn on and off preditive text
• manage a groups Flickr photos (and spell Flickr!)
• look after a community in Facebook
