Information Technology Backgrounder FAQ 15.
Some schools have a computer specialist.
Others leave technology to the classroom teacher. The simultaneous use of both approaches is highly desirable. A specialist can be closer to the leading edge of technology and can provide technology-specific training for both students and staff. Often the specialists provide noninstructional support such as daily maintenance of the school network and troubleshooting computer problems. This means that the regular classroom teacher needs to facilitate this learning, model use of the facilities, and provide ongoing help to students.
