Technology Barriers

There are several barriers of technology in education.  One of the biggest barriers of technology is money.  Technology is expensive, and there never seems to be enough money to buy new technology.  Another barrier that is closely related to money is the fact that we have old, outdated technology in our schools.  We are forced to use old, slow computers with outdated software when students should be learning about the newest technologies to help prepare them for the future.  Another barrier of technology in education is teachers who are anti-technology.  There are still teachers who are simply against using technology in the classroom.  Either they don't see the benefit of technology or they just refuse to learn how to use it, and therefore refuse to teach their students using technology.  These barriers prevent students from using the technology that they need to be learning how to use to help prepare them for the future.
