Discussion Prompt: What do you see as the biggest barrier to integrating technology into every classroom?
Please be sure to make a minimum of three substantive contributions to the discussion using the ETLO Discussion Board Expectations.
One of the biggest barriers I see is that we have a lot of older teachers in our schools. Sometimes the expression about teaching old dogs new tricks is all too true when it comes to getting this group of teachers on board with new ideas - especially if it has to do with technology.
Actually Joe, THIS old dog has worked very hard to get her school administration on board with many of the new technologies available. I have found that it is in fact a lack of support both financially and physically from our administration that has made technology integration so difficult.
Right on, Suzy, we old dogs need to stick together!
