28. How have you helped teachers understand new technologies for the classroom?
How to Answer
If you have experience successfully introducing new technology to teachers for use in their classrooms, share your experience and highlight how teachers felt because of your training and guidance. The main point is to paint a clear picture for the interviewer as to how you successfully engage teachers and support them in their work. Walk the interviewer through what you did (or would do), how you supported (or would support) teachers throughout their learning, and how teachers left (or would leave) the training feeling.

Answer Example
"I ask the principal if I can take up some time on professional development day for a seminar to teach the teachers about a new technology. I gather all the teachers on that day and give them an overview of the technology. For instance, it might be a new eLearning platform. I'll show them a quick tour of the features and give examples of how they might use them in class. Then, I'll have the teachers interact with the platform for 5-10 minutes, and then host a Q&A session. I would welcome their feedback and make myself available to them, should they have any more questions or need support. I would want teachers to leave the training feel well-equipped and supported in using the new platform to their advantage."
