It’s not all that different from adopting a brand new curriculum. Teachers need time to explore and understand the technology themselves before feeling comfortable using it in the classroom. With budget cuts and less funding, the training portion of technology implementation often gets sidestepped. Instead, many teachers come back from summer vacation to find a cart of laptops or Apple TVs in their rooms with no more than a sticky note that says, “Use me.”
So, back in March, we asked our loyal Twitter followers the question, “What is the biggest obstacle you face when implementing new tech in the classroom?” 1. Surprisingly, many Twitter users cited student skills and interest as a major hurdle. @The_Math_Wiz, tweeted, “Lack of foundational knowledge of the technology being used, such as keyboarding skills when using laptops.” Edudemic sur Twitter : "What piece of tech/book/app would you suggest for your students to use at home? #EdudemicAsks #edchat...

We know that some educators out there are tech gurus, always championing the use of the latest and greatest resources.
On the other hand, many teachers prefer the steadfast and dependable technology they’ve used for years. Sometimes, the use of tech in the classroom isn’t a personal choice. Some schools require certain devices, programs, and apps to be used as part of district-wide mandates. And in other schools, the electric pencil sharpener is as high tech as it gets. We wanted to know what tools Edudemic readers really do use in the classroom. 1.

But what would happen if schools gave students a similar amount of unstructured free time and allowed them to take control of their own learning? This spring Matthew Bebbington, a high school physical education teacher in the U.K., decided to find out. He organized a school-wide "Innovation Day" that let 80 students between the ages of 11-15 choose what and how to learn.
