Case: What would you do if the technology around which you planned your lesson did not work?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would avoid saying things like end the lesson or allow the students to have social time while figuring out how to handle the situation. I think stating that the lesson would continue using a different element such as books, the chalkboard, or the whiteboard is something that would make the interviewer feel that teacher is not reliant solely on technology. |

Comments: I agree with this solution. Always have a back up plan for the lesson as we cannot rely on technology to always work properly. |

Comments: Never tell them that you would just give up, instead say you have a backup plan or can easily write it on the board. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I feel that by having a backup plan, you will always be prepared regardless if the technology in the class is working or not. This makes one look extremely responsible. |

Comments: I agree that you should not just say end of lesson but to improvise by using something like the whiteboard. By saying this I agree that it makes the interviewer not think that you are only reliable for technology. |

Comments: It's a good plan, but things do happen and events come up, if there is a last minute issues. You can allow your students to have 5 minutes to decompress while you figure out the problem, but set that firm expectation for a specified time amount. |
