OMG, they did not know that...

Some say that our students today probably know more about technology than their teachers. I believe the contrary. They may know how to use what they like about technology, but when they have to produce a project that has technology they sometimes are not completely clear on how to use what they have to their full potential. I recently discovered that most of my students do not know how to send a document as an attachment or how to keep rich text in an email. They were shocked to discover this because they have been sending emails forever. We as teachers should not think they know a lot about technology, we should always check what they know and how they use what they know, so they can become super technology savvy.
