  Technology Integration

One of the biggest obstacles to technology integration is the basic structure of the classroom. Teachers still use the stand and deliver method - now we have PowerPoint instead of the overhead projector --- staff development is critical but if there isn''''''''t anyone to followup then what is the point - Leadership on technology integration must come from the district office to the principal to the classroom. NCLB has actually hampered efforts for technology integration - the focus is now the "test" and that AYP can be met. Teachers will say that they do not have time to "use" technology. Technology coaches appears to be an effect effort but most small districts cannot afford the personnel costs.
