WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED
INSTRUCTION?
• Technology enhanced instruction can be defined as, instruction that is
used to engage students through explorative and creative methods
using technological devices and/or programs. Students are also able to
take on an active role within their own instruction which will ultimately
lead to them acquiring new knowledge.
EXTERNAL BARRIERS
• Teachers are often focused on the
core standards in the classroom
because they want students to be
prepared for state assessments. This
can cause teachers to focus more on
content instead of focusing on
learning to use technology, so they
can implement it in their teaching
practices.
EXTERNAL BARRIERS CONTINUED…
• Teachers may lack the necessary resources for technology use in the
classroom. Often times, technology use in encouraged for teachers to
utilized it within instruction, but many teachers and districts lack the
resources and funding to effectively implement it for each student
and/or classroom.
INTERNAL BARRIERS
• Teacher’s attitudes towards technology and incorporating it into their
instruction
• Teacher’s beliefs towards to effectiveness of technology on students
engagement and effective learning.
• Teacher may not feels that they have the necessary knowledge and skill
to effectively implement technology in the classroom.
HOW CAN TEACHERS OVERCOME THESE
BARRIERS?
• Professional development can be
provided for teachers, so they can
acquire new knowledge and skills
that will be used to help students
learning in the classroom.

• Reconsider assessments or the type


of assessments that are assigned for
students to complete.
OVERCOMING BARRIERS CONTINUED…
• Training on how to use a variation of instructional technology devices
that could not only make the teacher’s job easier, more comfortable,
and more efficient, but this training could also teach them how to
implement engaging activities for students.
