One of the areas that caught my attention was the correlation between technology use by students in an education setting and self-esteem. Michael Page has collected numerous studies that show that using technology in a classroom can have a positive impact on student’s self-esteem, especially on students of low socioeconomic status (393). However, Page pointed out that in each of the experimental classrooms, the teachers were fully trained in the use of the classroom technologies as well as innovative instructional methods (396). This fact seems significant to me. Perhaps one of the biggest barriers to using technology in classrooms is that many educators are not comfortable with the technology (Solomon & Schrum, 103). There is an administrator on my campus who is a self-admitted "technophobe". She only learned how to add attachments to email and use the text feature of her phone in the last few months. Another coworker only began using a document camera a month ago. It had been in her room for months; she was afraid that she would break it. Until educators have used some technology with success, they are often not willing to add this to their lessons or encourage students to do so. Another part of the study included adding technology to the classroom control group and making it available for the students. In the traditional classrooms, no technology was added, so teachers continued to focus on a traditional model (Page, 397). While I have no doubt that incorporating technology into education is highly beneficial and necessary to students by helping prepare them for life outside of the classroom, I wonder at what point we stop demonizing teachers who do not use technology when they do not have access to the technology or the training needed.
