Effective teaching/ Mixed technology use Collaborative Teacher Level Effective ITS/Uncooperative Teacher

Role B: Donald Defiant – Teacher

You are an effective Science teacher who uses the Smartboard as a tool during the lecture part of each lesson using it to show your creative presentations and interesting Science websites. You prefer not to use the laptops as it takes too much time to deploy them, have the students log on and then return them to the cart before then end of the period.

Some additional considerations:
 * You are an effective teacher.
 * You are convinced that your use of technology is sufficient.
 * You resent having Linus Torvald observe you.
 * You never let the students use the Smartboard because it is so expensive.

Be uncooperative with Linus as he attempts to help you develop ways to integrate technology in a more hands-on approach. Argue against having the students use the Smartboard or the laptops. Be resistant at first, but eventually, allow Linus to convince you to allow the students to use the Smartboard
