2011-07-07 08:23

They feel threatened that pupils will abuse the use of phones during the lessons.

the educators are scared the children know more about the technology than they do.

They are afraid of the unknown and dont realise it can be used as a vehicle to deliver the curric - it is learning andteaching supp material.

because they are more efficient than we are and teachers want to be in control.

educators are caught up in traditional ways and are afraid to change. I believe you need to adapt and change or be leftbehind.

2011-07-07 08:25

They r afraid of what these devices can do.....they do not understand how 2 use the device properlythemselves.....scared of unknown!

2011-07-07 08:25

we are not allowed to because of our principal's policy of no cell phones - if I could use them I would

2011-07-07 08:26

Possibly a fear of losing the children's attention, that they will be distracted from the educational task by use of mobiletechnology.
