My biggest challenge is not learning how to use technology, but becoming overwhelmed with the available options. It is also a large time investment to learn a new technology tool (smartboard, google, moodle, blackboard, etc).  Finding the right tools for my classroom is quite challenging.

It seems that the dominant theme on this board is a struggle to find the time to actually implement the strategies discussed throughout the course. My greatest challenge is no different. This year's AP US history students struggle with basic reading comprehension and writing skills. We have resorted to teaching elementary learning techniques in class - reading a paragraph and identifying the main idea, basic vocabulary, and sentence structure. While the ideas presented in these modules could be useful, they remain a distant vision as a result of the current reality.

My biggest challenge in this course will be how I can quickly incorporate this new technology into current and future math topics and lessons.

Spring semester just increases those demands so my biggest challenge is stopping and doing something that is new and not normally in my schedule. I do need to increase to the transformation level with technology based lessons.

The biggest struggle is definitely finding the time.  Though I'm always trying to find ways to improve lessons, it's tough to keep up with the newest technology trends.

My biggest challenge, as a forward thingking, technologically advanced individual is feeling as though the course is anything more than jumping through hoops.

My biggest challenge is finding the extra time needed to be creative and/or learn new tools to help facilitate a better opportunity for learning with technology.

My biggest challenge is finding the time to incorporate technology with my co-teacher. The planning time is often very tight. However, in English, I would love to find a way for students to turn their persuasive essays into electronic products for mass consumption and review.

My biggest challenge in this course will be finding time to get everything completed. I feel that the addition of the chrome books in the elementary setting has really helped me incorporate more technology in my classroom. Before this year, I have felt that the biggest struggle with incorporating technology was that there was not enough available or that students were not used to working efficiently and effectively with the technology and it really hindered what we could accomplish. Now that students are getting more acclimated with using it, I feel more comfortable incorporating it.

# data[].attributes.body
Because I work primarily in a co-teacher/inclusion capacity, one of the fundamental challenges will be my ability to integrate new technologies fully and effectively into the classroom. I do not have sole discretion/ownership of the lesson plan; teaching is a required collaborative process. Coupled with that is the time to learn, get the buy-in, or support from the other teacher, as well as PD to experiment with the new innovative technologies. I think technology is absolutely valuable in increasing critical thinking skills, literacy/communication, and collaboration. I look forward to learning more and using more tools in the classroom as I grow as an educator.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest problem I face with technology is taking it to the next level.  My students use technology to run statistical analyses and create histograms of data.  However I would like to grow so I can aid them in learning how to dig even deeper.

# data[].attributes.body
My students use technology mostly at the functional improvement level. A challenge that I will face is taking risks with technology to use it in new ways.  I find that I get "stuck" doing the same things.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge I will face in this course is also time. I appreciate the extra time allotment on each Module and I look forward to all the new learning. It will be well worth the time investment from what I can tell so far!

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest challenge I will face in this course is time. I agree with the idea of having all the modules open at one time so we can work on them as we please. Some weeks I have time to do 2 modules and some weeks I don't have any extra time. At least the modules are open for 3 weeks so I can work on a couple at one time when I have extra time.. Looks like I will be doing 2 modules over spring break..

# data[].attributes.body
I love technology. My biggest challenge is finding the best way to incorporate technology with the math curriculum so that it propels the learning forward, allows student choice and keeps students involved.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenge I face most is integrating technology into the structured comprehensive dyslexia program. I currently use it as a substitution when introducing lessons so that it creates another visual mode of delivery. Also in Augmentation- having students read stories/ comp questions online rather than using paper copies. It's all a work in progress.  I look forward to learning more valuable technology information that would enhance my students learning.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the challenges I face is using technology effectively and purposefully. As I get better with technology I feel that I will incorporate way more in the classroom at the higher levels.

# data[].attributes.body
To echo what others have said, time is the biggest factor. As Jacqueline DeLong mentioned, it would be much easier if it all opened at once, so I could sit down and knock it all out whenever I had a chunk of downtime, rather than having to try to find the time here and there over the course of several weeks.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the biggest challenges i face as an educatior is curiculum.
I am the ONLY person in the entire districts that teachers what I do. We are also the only diistrict in the state of texas that has a 4 year culinary acadmey. There is only a few resources to use tht are up to date and accurate. It is also difficult to use technology in higher levels. Our technology for our industry is specific and expensive.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge I will face in this course is TIME...We have no time to breath in the kitchen with how busy we are. I agree with other posts that these modules should all be open at once and let everyone work on them as time dictates. With these time restraints I see a lot people just rushing through the material instead of digesting it the way it should be chewed.

# data[].attributes.body
Time is probably the biggest concern I have. It is at a premium and I will have to check the deadlines regularly. My wish is to incorporate one new idea per year and become efficient at it.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the biggest challenges I will face with this course is finding the time and ways to incorporate technology effectively in a way that will most benefit my students. There are also so many technology options, that it may be difficult to step out of my comfort zone with what I am familiar with so that I can use different technology options with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Effective time management will help me be successful in this course. I plan to continue to use technology to enhance my lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge I will face in this course is time. Time is always the challenge. It would be easier if it All opened on one date and then all closed on a given date instead of every 2-3 weeks. It is hard to make sure you are starting and completing with in the 2-3 week window because of limited time.  I wish when I had the time I could just sit down and get as much done as possible instead of having to wait for the next sections to open.  Sometimes I forget about it because of how busy life is.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish there were more math tools and examples. I will be leaning on my on site Tech support Guru Katy Berry along with the BNHS math team to help me incorporate any tools

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge I have is using technology across 6 different levels. Students in 1st grade have a much different understanding of technology than students in 5th grade, so my challenge is meeting the needs of all students through my counseling program in technology.

My biggest challenge is to incorporate technolgy into physical education on a regular basis.

# data[].attributes.body
I wished there were more examples for math.  There are some good manipulative websites for exploring equations of figures and how changes to variables effect those equations, but I feel these too are more of the substitution or manipulation type of technology.  With the timeline of getting in all the TEKS, it is harder to do some of the other things using technology.  The lead time to prepare these is time-consuming as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Time! Time! Time! Along with everything else required of teachers I struggle internally with justifying the need of this required technology training when my course is 99% technology based using multiples forms of technology.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest challenge with this course will be to not getoverwhelmed. There are so many tools and a lot of new information. I feel a bit behind in my integration of technolgy in my classroom, but I feel like I have made good progress. I need to be consistent with my technology integration, but not feel like I have to do everything at once.

# data[].attributes.body
The actual amount of time spent on the course is not bad. The thing I struggle with in technology is that there are so many different tools introduced to us that it becomes overwhelming. I

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest challenge with this course is similar to others, time. Time to complete assignments and time to read others posts and reflect on them. I want to learn from others during this course, however, time and other school commitments limit my brain power late at night, which seems to be the only time I find to complete my assignments! However, I will keep trekking on!

# data[].attributes.body
My most difficult challenge will be to make the commitment to utilizing technology. The time needed to play around with the different tools is something I struggle with daily.

As a music teacher, I struggle to find authentic ways to use technology in my room that does not seem to actually take away from the standards and skills I need to teach my students. Another constraint that makes really tackling this problem is how little I see my students. When I only see them once a week, it can be difficult to teach them all of the music curriculum I need to in that time, even without trying to incorporate technology in an authentic way. Therefore, I plan on looking for technology programs that are not time-consuming, and actually enhance my students' learning as opposed to taking away from it.

# data[].attributes.body
Time and curriculum are my two largest challenges. Because I teach AP courses, pen to paper is a necessity in preparing students for AP Exams. However, I am a technology junkie so I still want to incorporate technology in the class when I can. Time is the bigger struggle. There are days when I don't find the time to eat because I am so overwhelmed with tasks. While I want to learn ways I can integrate technology in my classroom, I also have to pick things each day that simply aren't going to get done unless I am able to transform into superwoman (here's to hoping).

# data[].attributes.body
Time is the biggest challenge that I have, but I feel that small steps will eventually help lead to a full technology integration.

# data[].attributes.body
Time is definitely my biggest challenge.  I also don't know where to begin.  I feel like there are so many things out there, it's overwhelming.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge for me will be implementing this course in my classroom; I feel like I never have enough time to reach those upper levels of SAMR. I've begun organizing my schedule for next year to maximize my and my learners time, so that I will have time to teach how to use technology in these upper level ways. Also, when I plan for students to take charge of their note taking at home we will have more time in class for upper-level thinking, creating, and applying.

# data[].attributes.body
My struggle during this course will be in making the time committment needed to effectively research and "play with" the tools to increase my proficiency with them.  I need to feel comfortable with the tools before I introduce them to my students.  Their struggles are very real and basic.  I must be very intentional when introducing and implementing new strategies.  I am excited to learn new ways of increasing their understanding and independence, but I don't jump quickly.  I need to process these things first so I can then use effective and purposeful instructional strategies to facilitate their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Like many have already said, time is the biggest obstacle to overcome in finishing this course. As an inclusion teacher, the choice of technology isn't always left up to me in class but with greater knowledge of technological resources, I feel like I can alter or differentiate assignments to fit the student instead of vice versa.

# data[].attributes.body
My challenge is finding the time to really dive deep and get the most out of this course that will benefit me and my students. I looked up 3 new things that I could possibly integrate in the classroom that I learned about in the videos, but again it becomes a time issue. First, I need to fully understand and be able to use it and then determine how it will best serve my students and my content.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge I face is setting aside time to complete this course and keeping up with the deadlines. My plan is to use technology to remind me to do this course. As I learn about more platforms hopefully I will become more proficient in completing this course and planning lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
The largest challenge I see myself facing with this technology integration course is finding time to teach my students how to use the new technology that I'm introduced to during this course. My plan is to experiment with a somewhat flipped classroom design where I use video lessons to show my students the new features available to them.

Art is tricky to incorporate technology as we can make big messes and that does not work well with clean and dry areas to protect equipment. Using technology is important to advance graphic designs in a creative way and keep our students ready for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
My current challenge is working towards the higher levels of SAMR. The students love it and find it far more engaging, however, it takes time to create meaningful tasks, rubrics to accompany them, etc. 1-1 technology in fourth grade is "new" to the teachers/students so this is a year full of firsts and it can be time consuming. The coursework itself is already giving me some new ideas to take back to the classroom. I would probably enjoy it more if it were self-paced so that I can do more one week and less one week depending on my schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges I forsee with this course are finding the time to do the assignments, and to keep up with the incredible amount of technology. There are so many different platforms, and it makes me feel overwhelmed at times. My plan is to do my "homework" on Monday or Wednesday night, and to take each platform one step at a time.

As a 2nd grade teacher I would love to have more time in our curriculum and a larger quantity of ipads and/or chrome books to devote to technology integration. It is definitely the times of today which is why I am challenging myself through this course to jump right in and incorporate it into my lessons.

As a choir teacher technology is evolving to supporte our craft little by little.  For me the challenge is keeping up with any new tools and integrating into our curriculum throughout the year.

# data[].attributes.body
I use technology pretty routinely in my class. I think the struggle is to really make sure we are hitting those higher levels of SAMR but those activities take a lot of time. For me the challenge will be to remember to come to this every week and work on assignments. I'm the type of person who would prefer to power through it.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest challenge in working with first graders is task design. I know the tools out there and what the possibilities are but I am not comfortable yet with designing the tasks above the SMAR level. This is what I feel the need for. I find the kids do not always think above the tool.

In Art, the challenge I have found is incorporating valuable technology opportunities, without losing the importance of teaching the fundamentals of art and developing fine motor skills. On an elementary level, keeping a healthy balance is something I am trying to create and maintain.

Keeping up with technology as it is constantly advancing is a struggle. My students are more on top of the modern technology than I am. Time is also an obstacle because as I am trying to focus on non technology related goals, I am having to continue keeping up with the change in technology as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with so many that the biggest obstacle is time. I love technology, and hope to see if incorporated more and more by curriculum writers as well. Sometimes the struggle is the time to take a lesson that has been created and change it to make it more technologically sound.

The struggle with going through these modules is the overload of information that is often regurgitated.   Technology is ever evolving and as educators, we too must evolve with the progressions.

I would love to have more time to learn and explore technology! Although we know our days are busy. When I do learn something, new I think wow that’s awesome! I want to try and implement that in to my classroom! I just get caught up in everything else and time passes and I never try it.

The struggle I face with technology is the healthy balance. While I LOVE the total transformation 1:1 has done to my classroom, I still need students to be able to complete academics "old school" due to assessment standards.
