The third reading discussed, in my mind, a lot of time management issues regarding incorporating technology into the classroom.

The barriers cited for SIS use were:


1.The student information system doesn't solve important classroom problems, cited by 71
percent of teacher respondents as a minor (31 percent) or major (40 percent) barrier;
2. Weak "professional development content" (70 percent);

3. Lack of shortcuts and repetitive steps to generate reports (70 percent);
4. The implementation is too "one size fits all" (66 percent); and
5. Too few students with Internet access outside of school (64 percent).

We do have some students without internet access outside of school.  As an educator it's important to find the time within the classroom setting to incorporate the technology so all students have access to the knowledge.
