NCATE Standards Reaction

I found the 7 standards to the NCATE very interesting. It is putting a HUGE emphasis on how important technology is in the classroom. Now, with new technologies out and everything being upgraded to an intense state, it is hard for everyone to keep up, especially teachers. Not only are they in a classroom from 8'ish-3'ish 5 days a week, they also have the after ours work that they have to do such as grade papers, tests, lesson plans, etc... It seems as if teachers these days would have to be in workshops more than not, so that they could be taught how to use the new technologies that are required for their classrooms. Yes, the new technologies are great, but when someone is comfortable with the way they teach why make them sit through something that they do not want and or need? I don't know maybe I read the standards wrong. Everything is great with the technology, don't get me wrong, I feel it is just very time consuming for teachers to deal with.
