Technology Integration Barriers

Introduction

Throughout this semester, we have studied technology integration knowledge and skills. However, for more than two decades, several barriers have hindered technology integration in many schools. Such barriers include:

· A lack of training and skill,

· Lack of time for teacher planning,

· Availability of technology infrastructure,

· And lack of willingness to integrate technology

This assignment is to research these barriers in detail. Using any sources such as research paper, journal or online article, write minimum 4 pages about barriers and 1 page about how to overcome this barrier to effective technology integration (single space, 12pts font size).

Citation of Sources

When you cite the sources, you have to credit the source. If it is written by one author, insert the last name of the author and the year of publication. For example,

Walker (2000) compared reaction times

In a recent study of reaction times (Walker, 2000)

In a recent study of reaction times, Walker (2000) described the method

If it is written by two authors, always cite both names every time the reference occurs. For example,

Song and Kidd (2007) claimed that…

Online class is more effective than classroom instruction (Song & Kidd, 2007)

If it is written by three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs; in subsequent citations, include only the surname of the first author followed by et al. (not italicized and with a period after “al”) and the year if it is the first citation of the reference within a paragraph:

Song, Kidd, and Walker (2007) found – use as first citation in text

Song et al. (2007) found – use as subsequent first citation per paragraph thereafter

The online course is of great concern to faculty with regard to teaching and learning (Song et al., 2007)

Reference Lists

The reference list at the end of a journal article documents the article and provides the information necessary to identify and retrieve each source. For example,

Song, H, & Kidd, T. (2007). Online class and classroom instruction. Journal of Online Education, 12(3), 203-210.

If you cite online article, list your reference as shown below.

Song, H. (2007). Faculty development and the diffusion of innovations. Online Journal of Distance Learning. Retrieved October 18, 2004, from
