Ideas from Chicago and Detroit:
Although all of the teachers, schools, and districts involved in this study faced unique challenges in integrating technology, as people in these school communities, they shared many of the same concerns:
  • Defining a vision for how to use technology
  • Ensuring adequate technology access and technical support
  • Helping teachers become more comfortable with new technologies
  • Finding high-quality curricular content
  • Using technology to leverage school reform

In this section of the site, you can read descriptions of the creative ways teachers, school leaders, and district leaders have successfully addressed these challenges. You may read about some ideas you can adapt to fit your own specific situation.
