  5. Computer anxiety • Computer anxiety is one of the greatest inhibitors to teachers learning to use technology. Gerard and Sleeth (1996) argue that it is one of the biggest challenges facing trainers of technology today. Thus, innovative methods of training must be developed to reduce teacher anxiety toward computers. One such training method involves digital storytelling, a process by which teachers use computers to create and tell personal stories. • Authors -Janice Butler, Rene Corbeil, University of Texas at Brownsville, USA
