Teachers are busy and often overworked, and the thought of having to learn and incorporate new technology can be daunting and time consuming. At the same time, teachers are always looking for tools that engage students and help to deliver content in an appealing and new way. When answering this question, demonstrate that you can empathize with teachers and all they are expected to do, but also provide an example as to how new technology may simplify their work. Mention a specific technology that could help teachers and walk through a scenario to demonstrate how it may impact them and their students.

"Teachers are often looking for new and exciting ways to engage students. I'd first ask teachers what one of their biggest difficulties is when they're teaching a lesson. Then, I'd connect that with a technology. For example, if they have a lot of kinesthetic learners who are active and very tactile, introducing iPads may help students be able to touch the screen and interact with the lesson. iPads can engage visual learners and audio learners, with visual aids and audio cues, as well."

Incorporating technology into lessons is a great way to engage your learners, especially those who are more visual or kinesthetic learners. Now, I know how little time you have to spend developing new resources, but there are many great platforms you could utilize to enhance your lessons that already have premade slides and activities that are already aligned with your content. EdPuzzle and Nearpod are two great examples. With both programs, you can edit premade lessons that other educators have created or use them "as is" if they fit your needs. EdPuzzle will even score the assignments for you!
