Instructors generally need pre-service training, with clear expectations from administration of how the technology should be utilized.

Instructors need to collaborate and learn from each other where the learning environment is specific to their content level and area.

Instructors' attitudes on using and incorporating technology is directly linked to the attitude of school leaders and overall school climate.

Instructors’ confidence will transfer to student confidence and yield better learning outcomes.

Some instructors prefer not to change and adapt as often as other instructors. Technology tends to challenge the traditional methods of instruction and routine changes will upset classroom procedures. However, this may lead to a lack of confidence when students’ technological abilities surpass the instructor.
