Teachers should find the benefits on using technology in teaching so they should like it, otherwise it would be difficult to transmit the same to the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should be willing to work using technology as a way to engage students. To do it, they should know some useful e-learning applications and how to use them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers should be well prepared and have lots of practice before they start introducing the different ICTs. Some students are very skillful in  different learning aspects but because of a lack of resources they have no basic knowledge or practice with new technologies.

I think that teachers should manage a way to connect the teaching skills and technology. Therefore, the constant use of technology for educational purpose should develop skills not only to use applications but lo look for online resources to make the class interactive and the communication asynchronic and sychronic.

# data[].attributes.body
A teacher should have many skills, but the most important ones ought to be the permanent desire to stay updated with the latest developments in this field.
This teacher should be able to recognize the different ways that students of different age groups need, in the manner of explaining.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, based on my workplace I don´t think so, we can use technology like plickers which doesn´t demand too much hardware.

# data[].attributes.body
A teacher should know basic computing skills and also be continuously searching and studying new apps which can help students enhance their learning experience. Most teachers think that using technology means just presenting slides. However, there are many educational apps that can be very useful. It is important that as teachers we do not have to use technology without having a clear purpose in our classes for using it.

He or she must be familiarized with technology jargon, software, hardware, techniques, and try to be updated as much as possible.

Of course, not less important, he or she should make sure that desired objectives are accomplished with the design that includes new technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t think so because there are a lot of barriers such as teachers are reluctant to use techonology, the lack of a technological envoironment in the classrooms, the poor preparation in technology, the poor support of the Ecuadorian government.

# data[].attributes.body
No, becuase publlic schools in Ecuador do not have the technology that teachers required in order to instruct

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, teachers should be familiar with the usage of different types of online learning tools , and also to be comfortable using them. teachers should be creative, innovative and ready for everything.

A teacher should be aware of the importance of technology in today´s education system. Then he needs to keep updated with the latest technology tools, applications and software in order to adapt contents to their students language level, needs and characteristics.

Not unless schools are equipped with appropriate hardware, software, and other services that meet the requirements of the tasks, for example, projector, enough computers, Internet connection, and so. Even asynchronous learning could be difficult considering the reality of many students.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think -ecuadorian authorities are ready to integrate new technologies in the classroom since it is necessary to be aware and have the precise teacher training to start using technology in depth in class. at present, schools and universities are equipped with technology but aren't taking advantage of it due to lack of knoweldge in doing e-learning.

A teacher should equipped to work
with different electronic and mobile devices. Likewise, it is important to have knowledge about software programs. Finally, the most important aspect is to combine those two things and be ready to apply those things in the educational context, that is the teachers should  manage strategies and techniques for TEFL purposes in VLE.

In my point of view, some teachers have to study and prepare to learn how to use Technology to facilitate learning of English with the use if it. For example in the case of virtual learning environments, some teachers do not use all their tools because they do not hot to use them and the institution does not explain to them how to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should be willing to learn about IT in order to deal with the new generation of students. They must be creative as well!

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should be self-learner and  autonomous in new trends about technology. Also, they should be prepared to face new challenges. Finanally they ought to be open-minded and possitive to learn and apply new ICT tools.

# data[].attributes.body
Again, public schools in Ecuador still have difficulties in acquiring the necessary equipment and  that's the main reason why new technologies cannot be integrated satisfactorily.

# data[].attributes.body
Ecuador's educational system is regretfully unprepared to integrate these new ICTs

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that a technology teacher should have competences on virtual learning environments to involve students into better ways of education that facilitate the learning proces.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers shoud be skilled at using digital devices and institutions should provide workshops to keep updated .

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers might be ready but not the educational system. In my experience there hasn´t been any kind of support to educational institutions regarding the use of devices in schools for example. It is necessary incentives to create and implement regulations and policies of the use of devices in classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I regret to say that Ecuador is unfortunately losing a position because  government does not invest in equipment and trainers.  In other words, for them education is not a priority.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a teacher should have the knowledge to about technology so he/she is ready to use it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in public schools this is a little bit harder but I think it is possible. Most schools have technology available so if as teachers we start introducing it little by little, we will be able to integrate technology in our classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers should have a good preparation in IT using Platform with VLE, as a result they will get all students attention and cover their learning styles.

According to the 2nd. question, no all Ecuadorian Teachers are prepared to integrated new technologies in the classroom due to the lack of knowledge and the lack of technology resources in some public institutions. As I am part of the public sector that is my point of view.

# data[].attributes.body
In our country there is still a difference in technology usage between the public and private education sectors. Private institutions hold better hardware and software materials and they invest in teacher´s training. On the other hand, publis institutions do not have enough technological resources and also maintainance staff in order to keep resources in good working conditions.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think so, it is because there are some factors that do not let the Ecuadorian system to be prepared for instance a) some institutions do not have the equipment, b) some teachers are non-digital natives, c) students use technology with other purposes.

# data[].attributes.headline
I don't think so. Unfortunately,some Ecuadorian people (teachers and parents) consider technology useless and a waste of time to use in classes. Things have changed a little in our eduaction system, but there is a lot to do

Ecuador is not prepared yet, but we are digging in this new field. There are some institutions that are already working and applying technology. It is growing but it will depend on the financial aspect in each sector.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not. Technoly is already here in Ecuador playing an important place in different fields but sometimes it is not available in workplaces, educational institutions, and other places. In my opinion, the public sector -schools and high schools- lacks important electronic artifacts for teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers should have a vast knowledge of ICTs and platforms management.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think so. Starting with the point that in many public schools our students still don't have access to internet.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view as teachers we can acquire the knowledge about new technologies after that we can transmit or apply to our students. Competencies and skills according to the necessities of our students. It's essential to learn new methods to improve our job and increase the motivation of the students with the teaching-learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t think so, because schools are not well equipped and sometimes it is expensive to get a learning environment for students to practice what they have learned.

I consider that Ecuador´s educational system is not prepared to integrate the new technologies in the classroom. I work at public school, and we don´t have enough technology, access to the internet, laboratories or equipment to teach our students.

I think that Ecuadorian educational system is not prepared yet  to integrate technologies in the classrooms because there is a lack of resources in school, especially in public school. Moreover, some teachers are not trained to use them.

# data[].attributes.body
The educational system in Ecuador has been changing during the last years. I think we are not prepared at all but if the goverment invest more fot this change, we will definitely will be totally prepared to integrate technology in class.

# data[].attributes.body
No, it is not prepared. There is not enough equipment to work with it

A teacher must be open-minded in order to be ware of innovation in the teaching process, using all the possible tech tools.

No, because public schools do not have enough technological resources to put into practice with studeents.

Teachers must be ready to learn about new technologies, and also contribute to this process.

Teachers need to be aware of new technologies advances and they need to have knowledge of computer assisted learning programs, new softwares and applications to be used in classrooms with different levels of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I really believe that teachers should be able to use technology very well by updating their tech skills.They have to apply online resources in order to engage students nowadays, since they are born in a tech era, and overall, be well prepared to transmit their knowledge to the learners.

A teacher should have to handle very well the tools he is going to teach in class

Teachers must have some knowledge of computer science basically and the of Internet

# data[].attributes.body
I think that given the way that technology has been taking  part in our daily lives , teachers need to take advantage of the technology which these days can be a plus in the education field.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a teacher should learn about technology because students enjoy learning with it and they feel more engaged in classes, but they must be aware because it could be a distraction in the process of learning. It is important that teachers have a clear objective of how to use technology in class.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teachers should interact and teach their students using ICT tools because nowadays children fell comfortable and motivated to learn when they use this technological tools

I think that teachers should need to be updated in using new technology and do not be afraid of using it.

In order to effectively teach and facilitate the learning process to our students it is essessial to master not only theories and pedagogy but also understand how platforms, tics and moocs work so we can choose the ones that fit leraners' needs the best.

No, i do not think so. because most of the teachers do not have a solid base knowledge in technology due to the fact in the past many of them did not technological resourses as we have these days.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I don't think we are completed prepared to integrate technology in our classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that more that beyond the system, teachers must be prepared to deal with the new technologies and take advantage of them, not avoiding them.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that most of the time the problem  is not just the resources teacher has to be always  opened to new ideas, so I guess Ecuadorian teachers have to be ready for every change no matter the materials. We need to use imagination and find the way.

# data[].attributes.body
No,lack of resources and training is one of the biggest problems in my institution and I stronlgy believe that education through technology have not being prometed so teacgers and students are not engaged into this process and they prefer to keep teaching and learning in a traditional way without taking any form of risk nor getting out of their comfort zone.

# data[].attributes.body
technology should be mandatory but the politicians do not really inject money to help  the public education. Inaddtion, teachers should be motivated to take courses or seminars using their own money.
