Teacher Technology

So this happened....

This is absolutely crazy! I mean of all the things that could happen when you play with an ipad in class. Quite honestly this brings up the fact that teachers need to know how to work the technology that they are using in their classrooms.

This is a problem that is not so easily fixed. How do we get teachers of all levels up to par on all technologies? Do we take one day out of the year to teach the teachers how to use new technologies? Is that enough? There are so many questions about how to teach teachers technology without interrupting the learning process for students.

I think the best solution to this is to require teacher development for at least 2 weeks at the beginning of the school year. That way teachers are not intimidated by the technology and have the capabilities to use it. It also allows the teachers to stay up-to-date with new technologies so they can monitor the activities students are doing and making sure they are not distracted by new technologies.
