[quoting Sturgess, 5 Mar 97.a] I believe that classroom teachers would invest more in technology if they felt they could incorporate it into an existing system. What is needed is a "transitional technology" that proves its worth to the masses, i.e., the regular classroom teachers.
Teachers also need to know the technology before bringing it into a classroom. Too often the higher up's believe technology is a matter of cost. I do not disagree but I believe the larger issue is the training on the technology. More and more teachers are expected to learn technology on their own time. This problem will only get worse, I believe.
