An older long-term substitute teacher refuses to use any classroom technology, forcing colleagues and office staff to constantly assist with attendance, email, doc camera, and Chromebooks, which disrupts other work and creates staff friction.

Workarounds Described

• Calls a coworker into her room to turn on the doc camera every morning
• Has another teacher send emails on her behalf
• Interrupts office staff to ask what to do when faced with technology issues

Implied Software Gaps

• A one-tap attendance app that requires no login or complex navigation
• An email assistant that sends group newsletters with voice commands
• A simplified universal remote app for classroom devices with no setup
