I teach in Alabama, funding for education is not stable nor high. I am able to respond based on my knowledge and a recent survey sent to Superintendents. Teachers use computers for record keeping, research and class presentations. As usual money and training.
Software is a continual cost, upgrading or hardware acquisition and maintenance.
Is it possible for one or two knowledgeable IT users in a school to make a difference or should schools examine the prospect of creating communities of learners in IT, and finally, Times are a changing. Younger teachers expect to and are trained to use technology. The number of teachers that have trouble with computers are declining. In my opinion yes.
