I’ve been teaching the same all these years, why change now?
Its too hard. I don’t have time to learn all the new programs.
Technology is too expensive. We shouldspend money on more important things.
Children have to learn to pass the state test.
I don’t have all the latest equipment in my classroom.
I pod
X box
Wii
Cell phones
