Teachers want access to more technology in the classroom
A nation wide survey conducted last year discovered that teachers want more technology in the classroom. Access to computers seems to be high and a lot of teachers are using websites, images and other media in their daily classroom routine. However the problem, according to the survey, is that teachers feel they don’t have access to the “right” kinds of technology.
The biggest barrier to technology, unsurprisingly, was budget constraints.

Teachers have their hearts in the right place. Most teachers cite ‘motivating students’ as their reason for wanting technology
What surprised me was that 943% of teachers believed that interactive whiteboards ‘enrich’ classroom education.
