Emerging Technology Issues

Today's classroom is filled with a variety of technology options, but with those can come some issues. Some of these would be technical difficulties with hardware or software, social issues such as cyber bullying or inappropriate behavior on blog sites, and acedemic dishonesty to name a few.
To overcome these issues a teacher must always have a strategic plan, for long term or short term objectives. Implementing filtering software and educating my students on the privacy, fair use and responsibilities that come with using technology is a key role. Students must know the expectations set by the school system, their teachers and their parents. With the help of technology support system and always have a "back up plan" if the technology fails, will help overcome any issues that may slow the learning in the classroom.
