3. Navigating the Detours (EJ776574)
Voices from the Middle, v14 n3 p60-62 Mar 2007
2007-03-00
Descriptors: Educational Technology; Technology Integration; Computer Literacy; Computer Uses in Education; Inservice Teacher Education; Computer Software
Abstract: Technology training usually suffers from a two-pronged problem. First, the demonstration content is so simple that when we use the new technology in our classrooms and something goes wrong (and it will), we abandon it, blaming the technology. Second, no one teaches us how to troubleshoot those inevitable glitches. Hayes offers some practical tips for using technology in the classroom and for avoiding the stress that accompanies the most common problems.
