Importance of Computer Knowledge

This week I have learned that it is very important to be "computer intelligent" as a teacher. I have found that it would be beneficial to my students to teach them the basics of computer technology so that as they get older they can grow with the upgrades. There are things about Microsoft Word and Excel that I have never known how to do. I learned how to do them this week and I feel like I have a new confidence as far as computers go. Computer use in the classroom is only going to be more readily used so by me learning, I am able to educate my students.
