 Hello everyone, this is Vijay here from Bucharest a Math educator, nice
bucharesttutor 20:00 to find you all here #ukedchat

StephanieBaier 20:01 Hi #ukedchat. I'm in NJ, USA. Interested in your chat today.

Show them pros n cons of using technology n compare them without

bucharesttutor 20:01 tech, surely the difference is huge #ukedchat

@Joga5 From a technical point of view, most are nervous of tech

withoutmotive 20:01 because they think they might break something. #ukedchat

@BobToms100 #ukedchat I'd agree, I think the initiative needs to come

colport 20:01 from the top. Like @bevevans22 says, slowly and surely.
OK the question is What should we do with teachers who don't use
technology? Can we look initially at those who are nervous of it

clairegowland 20:02 #ukedchat Is it essential that all teachers use technology do you think?

#ukedchat I think you have to teach them basics of technology before

StephanieBaier 20:02 you can expect teachers to use it in the classroom.

#ukedchat Teachers need to want to change. If they aren't comfortable

JCBarrington 20:02 using something, it is to the detriment of the children's learning.
@bucharesttutor #ukedchat Some colleagues like the reassurance of a
colport 20:02 piece of paper though

#ukedchat Teachers who don't use tech? Question one's own

tobyholman 20:02 approach. If they don't use, either they don't like or are not impressed

Ask Head if he can ask depts/faculties to carry out activity suggested or

BobToms100 20:02 (their own) & give feedback next staff meeting/INSET #ukedchat 3/3
john_at_muuua 20:02 @Joga5 er... why don't they use tech? #ukedchat
#ukedchat Maybe teachers can put something across better without
Educationchat 20:03 using technology?
@tobyholman So does leadership come into it? School vision etc
Joga5 20:03 #ukedchat

. @clairegowland #ukedchat I don't think it's essential for all to use all
StephanieBaier 20:03 the time, but all should use when it will enhance.

#ukedchat is the challenge for many unfamiliarity? Do not associate

BSFDarren 20:03 school tech with the tech that surrounds them in life?

#ukedchat One approach sometimes used is make the tech way the
withoutmotive 20:03 ONLY way to achieve a particular task. Then, they have no choice.

john_at_muuua 20:03 but the tech that's to blame#ukedchat

#ukedchat @clairegowland No, but essential all teachers know the

tobyholman 20:03 benefits (and negatives) of using tech
#ukedchat I'm currently attending #pelc11. Spending a day at a
conference like this will ensure they find something they feel they must
JCBarrington 20:03 try!
#ukedchat I find PE teachers don't use enough technology when they
are out on the field. Perhaps we should invest in longer extension
oldandrewuk 20:03 leads?

#ukedchat Some don't want to learn about it because their happy with
withoutmotive 20:03 the old way - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Training them n taking it step by step will eventually make them tech
bucharesttutor 20:03 savvy as well #ukedchat

@bucharesttutor not enough.... some teachers are scared of using

veecam 20:03 technology to teach through - they're afraid of losing control #ukedchat

@tonycassidy #ukedchat I did a little PD session on Twitter last week.

StephanieBaier 20:54 11 teachers showed up. 2 have tweeted back since. :-)
@TeacherToolkit I think one of the best features of an IWB is it's
interactive & you can save your work to continue next lesson.

@StephanieBaier @bucharesttutor Good point. Blogging should be

StephanieBaier 20:57 @bucharesttutor #ukedchat Access? As in MS Access?

@john_at_muuua Likewise IWB demos by reps and some consultants
Joga5 20:57 were killers for staff #ukedchat

#ukedchat Way to teach ICT? Don't teach ICT lessons! Why not use ICT

@ICTmagic If you have savvy kids, you need to leave them to get on

@jackieschneider The confidence to play & the know that they can't

@StephanieBaier yes MS Access n maybe also the basics of MS Word,

bucharesttutor 20:59 Excel n PowerPoint not necessarily in that order #ukedchat

@chris_1974 #ukedchat Its a small start though. Better than nothing.
