Tech Savvy Teachers Identify the Best Ways to Integrate Technology in BC Schools |
|
| This presentation reports the results of interviews of 20 technology-literate teachers from three BC school districts to identify the major supports for and barriers to the integration of contemporary educational technologies in their classrooms. It includes a brief description of the study’s research design, a synopsis of the quantitative and qualitative methods used to analyze the interviews, and illustrated explanations of the major supports for and barriers to the integration of educational technology at the classroom, school, school district, and provincial government levels of educational service. Discussion of the results of this study will be facilitated by an illustration of the teachers' most important recommendations and a tabular summary of the implications of this study for the policies and practices of integrating educational technology in BC schools. | |
