In the Hew article, I found the section on the 123 barriers to be interesting. We all know by now through our class discussions that there are plenty of barriers with using and integrating technology in classrooms. These barriers listed were resources (40%), knowledge and skills (23%), institution (14), attitudes and beliefs (13%), assessment (5%), and subject culture (2%).
I can say that I was not shocked about resources and knowledge and skills being the top two. I feel that the lack of funds to buy new equipment causes resources to be so high in the percentages. Knowledge and skills still relates back to all the professional development and information that school systems must provide to their employees so that they can learn, keep up with, and use new technologies in their classrooms. I also liked the sections that gave information about how to overcome these barriers. I think that could be very helpful to teachers or school systems who are dealing with these problems.
