• In Event: Roundtables Thur1
  In Roundtable Session: CLT - Roundtables Thur1

Short Description

In-service teachers in high poverty K-12 schools are not integrating technology transformatively due to student- and teacher - related barriers associated with multiculturalism (e.g., classroom management, low-expectations for students). The purpose of this study is to identify barriers that prevent teachers from integrating technology effectively which may be unique for schools that qualify for Title I status. Teachers from two different school districts were surveyed to assess their perceptions of these barriers. Responses indicate that teachers do not know how to prevent challenging student behavior from interfering with their ability to teach with technology effectively.
