This document discusses challenges and strategies for incorporating technology into the classroom. It outlines five main challenges: time, skills, technical issues, lack of assistance, and quantity of devices. It then provides examples of how teachers can address each challenge, such as finding and testing apps, learning new skills, getting help from IT staff, and managing student-to-device ratios. The document also provides examples of specific technologies teachers can use, such as scanners, Padlet, Activity Spot, and Google Forms to engage students and support lessons.

--Learning curve, MORE, time, motivation
**Learning curve for you AND the kids
-When are you going to take class
-How much does it cost
-Will retain the information I need to
be able to use it effectively or is this
just wishful thinking!
-Students know what they use and
how they use it – not necessarily
applications helpful to school/business
**MORE to learn! When do I get a break!
-importance of Google
-Collaborate with others in person, on line
-Helps to have your own tool (work & play)

*quantity--Student-to-technology ratio, if changed what
impact will that have on lesson planning,
upgrading software/adding apps, storage,
charging
**S2T ratio
-1:1 is great but 2:1 is almost as good, sometimes better
-if ratio changes…get ready to scramble!/SAMR model
**Upgrade, storage, charging
-depends on the number you have to manage
