Abstract
This project presents a general background in the perceptions of the barriers that educators face when trying to integrate modern-day technologies into their classroom. After a brief introduction that includes a personal account and the significance of my topic, the literature review provides a detailed background of the barriers, as perceived by teachers, that are faced when integrating technology into their classrooms. Focusing on both internal and external barriers that teachers face, I also look at potential workarounds for teachers, administrators, and a district’s head office, for the barriers that are revealed. My project focuses on what an administrator could do to help promote a positive pedagogical shift for teachers who are reluctant to incorporate technology into their classrooms.
