Implementation

Implementation
When attempting to get teachers to implement Audacity in the classroom, I have two methods that I find useful.
 * 1) Show real life examples that are being implemented in the classroom currently.
 * 2) Allow teachers ample opportunity to play with the program, working through questions and problems.

Teachers need to be personally motivated in order to want to implement new technologies, by allowing teachers time to use the program, teachers can find their own niche for the program. If given the opportunity, student reflections on use of the program would be welcome as well, providing teachers with the understanding that students do find the technology useful. These examples and ideas as well as other items to keep in mind when working with teachers to implement new technology can be found in the article, Findings, High School Teacher Tech Integration Study.

Free time to review the Resources listed on this page can also prove beneficial in providing teachers with ideas and encouragement.
