Overcoming resistance to educational technologies requires clear communication, practical training, and responsive feedback. Communicate Benefits: Highlight how the technology enhances teaching efficiency and student outcomes, addressing specific pain points. Provide Hands-On Training: Organize workshops or demos to build confidence and familiarity through practical use. Act on Feedback: Regularly collect input, addressing concerns and adapting the implementation process to meet colleagues’ needs.

To overcome resistance to new educational technologies, I’d start by understanding my colleagues’ concerns, whether it’s about complexity, relevance, or increased workload. I’d highlight the practical benefits, like simplifying tasks or improving learning outcomes, and use real-life examples to demonstrate value. Providing hands-on training and ongoing support ensures they feel confident in using the tools. I’d propose starting with a trial or pilot program to allow them to experience the benefits gradually. Clear communication and collaboration throughout the process help build understanding and acceptance, ensuring the transition is smooth and effective.
