Problem
Unfortunately, there are several problems with obtaining human resources. First and foremost, there is a distinct paucity of teachers who are adequately trained in using ICT effectively in education. Also, many teachers find it hard to break free of exam-driven curricula that are focused on fast learning and memorization. Data from the National Center of Educational Statistics has shown that the greater the level of poverty is in a school system, the more likely it is that the technology within that school system is used for drills rather than for exploratory projects (Solomon, Allen, and Resta 21). Lower socioeconomic bracket schools, where such teachers are the most sorely lacking, are generally the ones which have the most difficultly attracting well-qualified teachers (Solomon, Allen, and Resta 21). This is an ironic occurrence that causes a lot of problems for the people who need help the most.
