Traditional educators are hesitant about tech-driven teaching methods. How can you overcome their resistance?
Traditional educators may view technology as a disruption rather than a tool. To change their perspective:
- Demonstrate success stories. Share examples where technology has enhanced learning outcomes.
- Provide hands-on training. Offer workshops to build confidence in using new tools.
- Address concerns directly. Listen to their reservations and discuss practical solutions.
How have you helped colleagues embrace technological change in your field?

To overcome their resistance, you need to first explain to them about the benefits of using technology in teaching. This is so that they would be able to see from your point of view why tech is necessary in education. You need to then show them real life examples of past success stories. This is to let them see how tech helped other students before. You need to also offer them training. This is to help them understand how to use tech in teaching.

I would ensure the tech enabled solutions are made with the particular users in mind rather that trying a blanket solution which could obviously have some flaws. There is need to provide training and support as change is difficult and can be daunting for anyone

I understand the hesitation some traditional educators feel toward tech-driven teaching methods. Change can be intimidating, especially when it challenges long-established practices. To overcome this resistance, I focus on demonstrating the tangible benefits of technology in education—enhancing engagement, personalizing learning, and improving outcomes. I also prioritize open conversations, addressing concerns with patience and real-world examples. By providing hands-on training and showing how tech complements, rather than replaces, traditional methods, I help ease the transition. Ultimately, my goal is to foster a collaborative approach where technology empowers both educators and students.

Teachers are absolutely willing to do whatever demonstrably works to help students to learn. The problem you describe is typically a failure to demonstrate the benefits of the technology and/or a failure to consider its downsides. Often pushes to use technology are ideological rather than productive.
