Abstract

In this paper, the authors explore the roles students play in support of technology in elementary classrooms. The primary role of students in the classroom is not support, but teachers need to take advantage of every opportunity for support. Support takes many forms. The authors classify the ways in which students were found to support technology in the classroom, taking advantage of students' expertise to help the teacher and other students. In some cases, students' efforts provided positive benefits to the teacher and other students, and in other cases, the students' efforts caused more problems than they solved.
