In IT IT Challenges in Higher Education , Cynthia Gautreau writes:

“A significant barrier to integration is not just the teachers’ technology competencies but the fact that many remain unaware of technology’s potential. (…)The faculty surveyed overwhelmingly desired to learn technology in order to meet the needs of their students.

She’s discussing findings among faculty members of an American college. Yet, as she goes over the benefits of technology integration and the barriers to its effective achievement, I feel as if she was describing my own teaching context.. Seems we face the same challenges all over the world!
