Barriers to Technology Integration in a Puerto Rico Private School (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639061260)

This book explores a relatively unknown area regarding the status of technology integration in private schools in Puerto Rico. This study in-vestigated personal practices of teachers related to information tech-nology, professional use of technology within the classroom curricu-lum, and teacher beliefs regarding instructional technology usage. Possible barriers regarding the integration of computers in the curricu-lum were also studied. Models of professional development are also explored. In addition to contributing to the body of knowledge about independent schools in Puerto Rico, teachers, technology coordina-tors, and teacher educators will find the book useful in understanding why technology integration may not be working in many schools and how to overcome barriers.
