barriers when using ICT in classrooms and how to overcome it

[nesma]

using ICT has a lot of benefits when using it especially when we have resources but sometimes we face unexpected problems like when programs we planned to work with is not working. I had the unstable electricity problem which caused my to loss some sessions which make me think about having backup activity.

 

what the barriers do you have in your institution and how did you overcome it?

It always helps to have a backup plan...just in case when teaching. We've all had it where it's all planned and just as you want them to do something, you can't get WIFi for some reason etc. There is no set answer what to do as backup, just be able to think quickly, having a solid knowledge of the topic helps. Problems usually occur when you only know one set thing you are teaching, I did observe a students lesson once and when it didnt quite go as expected he just quit the lesson he was doing instead of thinking on his feet and just modifying what he was trying to achieve. So I suppose there is a backup plan, know your subject well enough to be flexible when needed.
