Learning Activity 6-D-1: Overcoming Barriers
http://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/missing/i_safety/basicrules.htm (cp) ||
 * ~ Barriers ||~ Solutions ||
 * < Administrative: There may be disagreement about how IMPs can interact with the computer and be FERPA compliant. (RM) ||< Make IMPs only viewable/editable by students/parents - limited viewing by public. (cp) ||
 * < Adminstrative: There may be skepticism about how a cross-disciplinary IMP can achieve learning goals of both disciplines. (RM) ||< Model an example showing connections to learning goals for both (cp) ||
 * < Technological: School may not have the appropriate technology for the IMP. (RM) ||< Double check with IT before using certain tools (cp) ||
 * < Technological: Students may not understand how to effectively use technology for IMPs. (RM) ||< Model with an example using each type. (cp) ||
 * < Administrative: Internet Dangers (CP) ||< Review
 * < Technological: School simply may not have enough computer labs as often as needed. ||< Design IMP to work with available computer lab time. (rm) ||
 * < Administrative: Concern about length of time IMPs take vs. traditional lecture type instruction ||< demonstrate how IMP achieves same learning outcomes as traditional lecture in same amount of time. (rm) ||
 * < Technological: Students without appropriate technology at home to work on IMP (cp) ||< Arrange for after-school access to computer labs, or design alternate components that don't require home technology. Public library computers are also an option. (rm) ||
 * < Technological: Wide range of technology skills in classes (cp) ||< Include pre-IMP instruction to get all students at same level of technology skills (rm) ||
 * < Administrative: Not going to help prepare students for standardized tests (cp) ||< Demonstrate how IMPs achieve same learning outcomes as traditional lectures. Try to show how IMPs deliver better results than traditional instruction in standardized tests. conduct research review. (rm) ||
 * < Technological: Sites not working correctly, going down perhaps due to too many students accessing at the same time (cp) ||< Plan ahead with alternate sites or alternate modules to accomodate bandwidth barriers. (rm) ||
