Research question for TE 891

I'm sure this will be revised as the semester progresses, but this is where I'm starting for now in my research for TE 891:

Research Question- Overcoming Fear and Preconceived Notions Regarding Technology

How can I help educators (all grade levels, but primarily focusing on higher education) to stop fearing and resisting technology?

Sub questions-

• How will the pre-conceived notions of "academia" hinder me in this quest?
• How can I help overcome the view of technology as "dangerous?"
• What are the potential social ramifications of utilizing technology in the classroom?
• How many educators fail to distinguish between "computers" and "technology?"
• How could the K-12 and higher education communities benefit from sharing technologies, ideas about technology, etc? (A good example is how Louisville Public Schools and Kentucky Virtual University utilize ANGEL and work as a team in its development. How does this work? What benefits do they see?)
• I focused less in my brainstorming about budget for implementing technology, rather as technology as an idea, its potential for adoption/acceptance and what needs to be done to reach the level of adoption/acceptance. How do we irradicate fear of the unknown?
