Abstract

This comparative study investigated technology integration into classrooms in a Japanese middle school and an American middle school, both located in suburban areaa. A person who was responsible for school technology in each school was asked questions about three possible barriers which could prevent teachers from integrating technology. The results showed that the Japanese schools encountered formidable barriers, particularly the absence of a media specialist. Also, of important was the apparent lack technology leadership initiated by the principle that could negatively impact not only teachers' technology integration into classrooms, but the overall school policy for technology as well
