The purpose of this study was to identify the three most frequently reported barriers to using computers and the Internet for instruction. This descriptive, survey study used a 17-item survey to gauge the responses of 15 High School InTech educators at Macon State College in Macon, Georgia. The three barriers most frequently reported, among the Moderate barrier and Great barrier rankings, were not enough computers ; outdated, incompatible, or unreliable computers ; and lack of release time for teachers to learn, practice, or plan ways to use computers or the Internet. These perceived barriers must be addressed in order to increase the percentage of teachers who use computers and the Internet for instruction
