It attempts to answer the questions, how do teachers view the role of technology in the classroom, are they properly trained to use it, and does the school have enough resources to meet teacher's needs. Research was conducted at an international middle-high school in Shanghai. Participants were teachers from various backgrounds working in a school with an American curriculum. Research data was filtered through a number of response criteria such as experience teaching, department, sex, and grade level. The research found that many teachers did not feel properly trained in use of educational technology, that there were not the proper resources to meet teacher needs, and that all teachers felt that technology was an effective tool in improving student learning. The research concludes that teachers desire more training on the use of technology and a greater access to resources that they find useful.
