Tips for Technophobic Teachers

I just read an interesting article on Edutopia regarding a 33- year teaching veteran who has struggled with adjusting to technology. This article gives some helpful suggestions. I also thought about how amazing it must be for some school districts to provide on site tech-integration coaches.

This second article was also encouraging. I like how David Wetzel addressed how some novice teachers freak out when technology glitches occur (like me) but should compare technology glitches to teaching strategies and techniques that also have glitches.

Glitches are normal and to be expected.
