Discussion 5

I enjoyed reading this article because the author came up with explainations for the reason high-level technology use is low in schools today. the authour focused on the teachers beliefs and mentioned that, changing the teachers perceptions and beliefs about integrating technology into their classroom may not necessarily start with changing the teachers beliefs. The change may begin with showing teachers examples of the positive effects of integrating technology. It is also important to find out the nature of the teachers beliefs, where their ideas about technology steam from, and what experiences concerning techonology in their life caused them to formulate their beliefs.teacher beliefs are the most imporant factor in there being maximum use of equipment in the school. The teachers have to believe that the technology is going to benefit their students learning. If the teacher is integrating technology to meet requirements that they will do the minimum and the students will not reach their maximum potential.
