A large majority of institutes agreed their program graduates posses the skills and experience to integrate technology into instruction. However, a large majority of these teachers indicate that barriers impeded the ability to do so in the classroom, two major barriers being 1.competing classroom priorities (76%), 2. time (67%).
Thoughts:
If competing priorities and time restraints are major issues in fitting in technology based learning , would school issued laptop computers help resolve this? Would extended learning be a possibility since every student has a computer? (ex: class period is used for content learning and demonstration via multi-media, then the work performed by students at home using labtop.)
