Preparing for class, teaching, grading,
providing committee support,
researching, publishing, dealing with
student “non-class” issues, dealing
with parent meetings, strategizing
with department heads, etc.
With all this responsibility, research about effective teaching with technology and practices
becomes a low priority.
