Fear of embarrassment is keeping teachers from using technology in the classroom, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Bristol, in England.
The study was conducted with schoolteachers instead of college professors, but the results may still be relevant on campus. Many of the teachers said they were comfortable using computers at home, but were reluctant to integrate the machines into their classes—because, they feared, savvy students would lose respect for teachers who couldn’t handle high-tech tools.
