4 Classroom Technology Errors You Can't Afford to Make

  
  
  
  
Does this Sound Familiar?

Interactive Whiteboard Hand RaisedRaise your hand if you've purchased technology for the classrooms in your district, only to find it sitting in a corner unused. Guess what - you're not alone!  We recently spoke with the Hempfield PA District Tech Director and Assistant Superintendent to find out how they got technology off the shelf and into the classroom.

4 Reasons Why Classroom Technology Stays on the Shelf

  1. Too Cumbersome
  2. Not Easy to Use
  3. Hard to Deploy
  4. Difficult to Manage

Watch this short video and hear how the Hempfield Area School District overcame all of these issues. They now have a full suite of classroom technology tools throughout their district.

I agree, we overcome this malady through our principal using the technology as part of her evaluations of teachers. When technology was first installed her evals were specifically targeting technology. Now each formal eval includes use of technology. Each walk through is documented. Lastly, Professional Development each year includes updates on technology.

I have had the mimio at my school since last year. I don't use it at all because it wasn't compatible with my MacBook in the way that I needed it to be. I have not attempted to learn more about it this year, but hope Mimio makes their product more Mac friendly in the near future. I love the portability of the products and want to use them a lot more often.
