Here at PBwiki we try to make adopting new technology as easy as possible (make a wiki as easily as peanut butter sandwich). That said, it can be intimidating to be the person at your company or school district to take on the status quo.
Maybe you’ve seen some of these excuses – what is the best excuse you’ve heard from your organization?

The picture needs to be resized. It is too large to see the entire photo.
It’s bad enough they hotlinked the image; is using it to hawk their wares really considered “non-commercial”?
Hey James and MBrutsch,
Thanks for pointing that out, it’s fixed now.

The one excuse I don’t see and maybe it’s my age showing, but it’s “I don’t know how to, can someone train me here?” There a lot of us older teachers willing to try but we need to know how.
Hey Barbara,
Good point. Educators are really great about training and passing along the best new teaching tools.
You should check out educators.pbwiki.com – we have a bunch of tips and training materials for you to use — and add your own ideas!
