Chris Betcher highlights that "schools need to support teachers emotionally and technically in developing their (new ICT's) use in the classroom". To know that there is sufficient technical support would encourage teachers to collaborate on ideas and to take risks in the classroom.

//REFLECTION: I think there are some educators who refuse to use these technologies because they don't feel confident in using them. While I realise that there are many demands on teachers today, there are often other teachers in the same school that can offer assistance. While many schools have some level of technical support, there's also no harm in pushing for more. If the refusal to use these ICT's in student learning is based on opposition to handing 'control' over to the students, I believe this is inhibiting their learning because technology is what these students will be using as adults in the digital world. Teachers do not have to know everything about new technologies, and using students to show their peers new learning is a great way for teachers to learn new things too.//
