Because of the lack of technology at home, and having 4 computers in my classroom, I am worried about using technology in education. I foresee the following as problems to solve/overcome with possible solutions in parentheses...
1.) Students typing speed (allow students to play typing games afterschool)
2.) Disparity in internet access between students (allow afterschool access to those who don't have internet at home, have students get library cards)
3.) Online advertisements. Students see "Free Groceries" and click because they know their family needs groceries. (Proactively teach and show on an overhead projector how this type of scheme works)
4.) Student to computer ratio. (Have stations and work for students not using the computer)
I am sure other problems will arise, but it is nice to have a plan to preempt some issues in the classroom.
