Teachers finding it difficult to use technology effectively.

Most teachers want to learn to use educational technology effectively, but they lack the time, access, and support necessary to do so.

As teachers it is very important that we learn to used technology effectively in the classroom. It is understood that we are busy but we have to make it the time. Technology makes your work much easier and it allows you to do more effective teaching inside the classroom.

As teachers we have to keep on educating ourselves, only then can we inpart the knowledge and skills to our students. learning new technology is something that all teacher should get aquainted with. It is not as difficult as one would think. But rather fun and exciting and very helpful for it makes one's life more easier.

As teachers it is very important to take time and to learn to use technology effectively and efficiently. With the rapid changes of this world, technology is one of the things that is being used in all aspects. So for us to better prepare students to face the challenges of this world fruitfully it is important to instruct them in that direction. We might find it difficult to use technology at the beginning but with persistence everything is possible and we will find out that once we can use it effectively it will facilitate our life in many ways. We will be be able to keep inform and to better prepare for the needs of our students.

Teachers that are not willing to make the ability to change and update themselves will find it difficulty to use technology effectively. They should be aware that technology is here to stay and in order to survive in this world as an educator they must make time to learning these techologies and what they have to offer.

If more adequate training was provided for us as teachers, we would be better prepared to impart more knowledge and achieve a higher degree in the quality of teaching.

Technology is complex but not impossible. Our role as teachers is not only to pass knowledge but also to gain knowledge. As such we can learn about the different technological equipment and materials available for us to make our profession easier. Teachers find it difficult to use technology effectively but by trying and practicing we shall overcome and become masters of technology. Many times we think we cannot perform a task using a computer but if we convince ourselves that we can and leave the fear far away from us at the end the "difficult" task will be successfully achieved.

Teachers find it difficult to use technology effectively simple because most teachers are nto aware of all what technology can do for them. They lack the interest and have a negative idea towards learning about it. Teachers need to relaize that ,being an edcuator is a very challenging job; so why not use technology to assist us in mimimizing the amount of work that is expected from us as educators. Teachers need to have a more positve mind in using technology effectively and just need to give some of their time for them to learn to use it properly and then life would be easier.

Not only do we lack time, but most importantly interest in learning to work with something that might not be realizable in many schools............the lack of resources and materials cause many teachers to depend on old methods of teaching and not venture out to try new things.

I think the reason why teachers are having difficulty with the use of technolgy effectively for most of them haven't had the exposure from primary school days or don't have the access to feel and use the technology at their use, some teachers do not have the time.

teachers finding it difficult to use technology effectively that is not problem because no one is perfect. The only thing we can do is try to be perfect but as educator we need to ensure we have sufficient knowledge about technology so we can educate our future generation . teachers just need to practice, practice and practice and you surely will learn more than what you know.

I'm certain that to many teachers, the aspect of implementing technology with their every day tasks is very appealing..............never-the-less, being able to maneuver themselves let's say, on the computer or Internet may have its difficulties...........part of the reason being the lack of training...........everyday more and more upgrades are available...........more perks that further enhance what is already there.........teachers can get accustomed to it all............but up to date training must be available for them to become more familiar with the changes in technology.........i was an average use of the computer before this course..........i have to admit that this course has embellished greatly my knowledge of technology..........i was afraid to use database..........now, i can appreciate the operations of database as it makes it so easy for teachers and administrators to keep student records in order and with easy access..........using power point as a teaching tool is such a great idea............all that is necessary is for the training to be available for teachers to better understand how to keep up with the time of technology

the access is there, i think...............the time, well, that definately is a hinderance................the support, it could be better...............but for the most part, i believe teachers have the will or drive to better their technological knowledge.........

This is a statement that I find to be a true. The reason I believe that some teachers find it difficult to use technology can be for several reasons. a) teachers are not trained. b) teachers if they have the basic knowledge of a computer and do not practice it on a daily basis will eventually forget to use the programs they were taught. c) teacher may not a computer of their own. d) finally we as teachers need to see the need for the change and make time and effort to implement technology as another tool like using the chalk and the board.

teachers find it dificult to use tech because many do not have access of a computer. there are many websites that contains activities that children can use in the classroom but because computers are not available in the school teachers find it hard to implemnt such activities.

It is difficult to use technology effectively if one was not taught to use the technology in the first place. I am positive that if one has learned properly it would be easier to use. This is the main reason for teachers encountering the difficulty.

My opinion? Well, "some" teachers find it difficult to use technology yes. why? Lack of knowledge, since most or some teachers live at remote places and rely mostly on books....... Some teachers, and sorry if I say this, but there are some lazy teachers that don't like COMPUTERS....... Some will say,"I don't have the patience nor the time to spend working on something that will never benefit me, so why will I use the computer." Now if you are willing to change, then you will find the time and use technology effectively so as to improve in your daily activities. As a teacher, technology is the best innovative machine created........

Indeed teachers find it difficult to use technology effectively because some of them lack the proper training in this field. In this day and age there are some teachers who simply deny to accept these technological changes. However, the ones who indeed use it or are willing to use it may not be able to use technology as effectively as they want to because their instuition may not have the appropriate resources to do so.

Teachers find it difficult to use technology because they lack training in the use of technology. While some teachers have receive training in the use of technology many schools lack the resources due to financial constraints. To assist teachers that they will be able to obtain technological equipments for their schools, teachers as well as administrators need to write proposals to various organization to get funding for computers and other equipments.

Some teachers are finding it difficult to use technology effectively because of some barriers to technology integration which include a lack of teacher training, limited time for planning, computer placement in remote locations, budget constraints, and a basic resistance to change by many educators.

There is limited resources available in the classroom. There needs to be some kind of training either the teacher pays for it,or the ministry embarks on a project to train them. If more teachers are trained then lessons will be effective in the classroom and teachers will feel confident about what they are doing.

well, i believe the answer to this question is yes because most teachers are not computer literate. plus our system also contributes to this great difficulty because we teachers do not have the equipments available to us in our classroom therefore, this is causing us to see it difficult in using computer and technology effectively in the classroom.

Yes teacher do find it difficult to use technology because some school do not have the necessary equipment and it come out expense when the teacher provide their own material. Also it isdifficult because of adminstration does not give you support.
