  • I am at the district level as an IS consultant for technology implementation. My challenge is convincing the executive directors and the school board to fund new projects that support the curriculum especially if they require new technology

  • Administrative structure and orgainzation - aint nobodys responsibility.

    We have the hardware, but no PLAN for implementation

    Why? We are a "high performing" district that has no motivation or need to change anything in what we do. Are scores are good so leave us alone....

  • Very hard to get teachers to buy into using technology in the classroom because they (as "old school" natives) see technology as enabling students to be "lazy". They don't "earn" or have to "work (as) hard" to learn.

  • older teachers' fear of technology

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 7:38 AM  

  • Lack of phsical space in a classroom causes teachers to be resistant to using technology as well as the fact that not all students have access to technology.
