A blog I always enjoy reading, The Tempered Radical by Bill Ferriter, created a new day to celebrate – Epic Tech Fail Day. In honor of this day, Bill asked for submissions of tech fails in the classroom. We’ve all had these experiences. Internet crashes, computers freezing, and other uncooperative technology that decides to stand still when you are in front of 30 eager students (even though it worked flawlessly when you tested it out just 15 minutes prior). If an administrator is there to observe, the likelihood of an epic tech fail increases ten fold. Here are a few of my epic tech fails, as well as some tips to overcome or prevent technology failures in the classroom. Be sure to visit The Tempered Radical to share some of your own experiences!
