To me i feel like that she is trying to make a change at the high school that she teaches at and there are other teachers who feel like that she is wasting her time in trying to teach technologically illiterate. She is saying that there is nothing wrong with teaching that. This teacher has a good standard for her students in her classroom and she feel like that they can do the work.

She is also trying say is that technologically is a part off our life now and that we need to realize that. I feel like that she is making a stand for not her self but for other technologically teachers as well.
