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 improvise with what I have or contact faculty to see of another room is available of ruse. If this does not work I would find an alternate activity for the students. Teachers should always have an educational activity ready to go for situations like this such as games or worksheets. I would not allow the students to take advantage of this time by talking. It is important that teachers plan for these things especially when working with technology. In the worst case scenario, I would have the student independently read while I figure out the technology. |

Comments: i do not agree with this solution, transition time and down time does not effectively engage the students and classroom management can quickly become out of control. |

Comments: You should not have to find another room or cancel the lesson all together you should have the ability to teach the lesson in another way or at least explain it to the best of your ability and go fourth without the use of the technology. Always have a back up plan. I don't think this is an answer that should be given in an interview. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, this is not the solution that I would use because it would make me look like a not responsible teacher. Instead of having a back up plan, this method would be to have the students do silent work wasting the time that we could be working on the lesson for me to figure out the technology. |

Comments: I do not think having the students work on something else is the best option because it makes it seem that the teacher is only reliable on the technology. It is always important to have a back up plan related to the original lesson and not just a worksheet or silent reading. |
