Teachers need time to plan, prepare, and use technology. They need time to learn new technology ideas, as well as, explore, digest, experiment, practice, and expand skills. Finding time is a major obstacle for administrators and teachers. The key is setting aside formal time for curriculum development with a technology focus. This may involve rescheduling the day to allow for cohort groups to meet, team, and collaborate.
Many schools use rotating substitute teachers to provide more planning time.
Incentives such as comp time or release time might be used. Or, consider larger reforms such as rethinking teaching roles. Some schools are making use of technology including virtual classrooms to help. Cyberschool has classes such as one on the Holocaust that might be useful. Brainstorm solutions or strategies.
