2.
3. To reflect on the challenges and benefits of using technology in teaching (with a focus on fieldwork)
13. Fieldwork is not accessible for all students, however, by using technology students can remotely access field sites if necessary.
14.
15. Results of International Practitioners Survey 2011: What are the barriers to using technology in fieldwork? Lack of time to implement new technology Cost of technology/limited resources Limited staff/student technology skills Why was this technology introduced? Increase speed and volume of data collection To enable students to begin analysis during field trip Improve digital literacy of students

Notas do Editor
READ PUTNAM QUOTE - Case for using technology across all stages of education and academia in all subjects.Prensky advocates “digital wisdom and digital enhancement” – with the idea that we can make gains by using technology more effectively. Read HEFCE - Using technology for technologies sake sometimes improves digital skills of students, but does not have any bearing on learning outcomes. It is important to ensure pedagogy is the driver for using the technology. The literature makes a case for using technology effectively, but we wanted to know if this is being put into practice and wanted to know if our survey results reflected the ideas in the literature. Our focus is specifically using technology in fieldwork rather than just classroom education.
Ask staff to text in their answers. Explain how this technology could be used in general teaching to get students to give answers anonymously (if they are embarrassed to speak up).
Barriers are similar to those found by Fletcher et al. 2007, no progress has been made in changing view points on COST, RELUCTANT COLLEAGUES, LACK OF SKILLS
