As I have been teaching teachers how to integrate technology I am usually faced with the same questions. Here is a short list: <BR>
August 12, 2006, 12:00 am [ report as inappropriate ]1. How do I get technology? Most classrooms have 1 or 2 computers, and labs are overbooked and inconvenient. Most schools do not have dedicated grant writers.<BR>
2. How do I maintain the technology (troubleshoot problems, upgrade, etc.)? If the school doesn't have a technology facilitator (and many are being cut from budgets) then support is limited.<BR>
3. What about student cybersafety? Many schools block internet searching, blogs, etc. Are teachers held liable?<BR>
4. What about the digital divide? Is is ethical to require computer work if students don't have access at home?<BR>
5. How does technology help teachers meet the NCLB or state standards?<BR>
6. What programs will help teachers to use time more efficiently, rather then eating up more of their time? <BR>
7. How can technology help with classroom management issues?<BR>
<P> These are just a few of the general ed tech questions.
