Do you think it is important to receive training on how to effectively implement technology into your classroom? Briefly

explain.• 100% of participants said yes.• Explanations include:

– Yes because you want to know how to use everything correctly.– YES! We live in a different world and in-order for our kids to

prepare for their future teachers need to have and use technology in their classroom.

– Yes, I always like to see how another teacher/professional is using technology to better their lessons and students.

– Yes. I need to be exposed to hands on. If I can do it I can teach how to do it.

– Yes, but I don’t feel like one day of training is enough to effectively teach us how to use tech items. We are RARELY given any guided practice, independent practice, or time to reflect after we have tried it for a period of time.
