Teacher

I don't want to be embarrassed in the class if it doesn't work!

This is extra work, I don't have the time!

I don't know how to integrate it in my lesson!

How should I manage multiple devices?

I am comfortable with the teaching strategies I have been using for many years!

• E-teaching training and support • Share good practice

• Examples of e-learning in action

• Highlight the benefits

• Backup plan
