You can gain the trust and build the confidence of wary educators by running a hands-on pilot after training. This will allow them to test the technology in real classrooms and track its impact effectively. For example, they could use it in a month-long course with their students, see its benefits firsthand and measure its impact, such as improved engagement or test scores. They can also provide or receive direct feedback during this process. You can also pair the hands-on-training sessions with success stories of other educators and data-driven case studies to further demonstrate its results and proven impact.

To prove its impact, provide data and case studies showing how the technology improves student engagement, performance, and learning outcomes. Offer hands-on demonstrations and pilot programs to allow educators to experience the benefits firsthand. Highlight success stories from other schools or institutions and ensure ongoing support for smooth implementation.

Introducing new educational technology to wary educators requires a persuasive approach that addresses their concerns and highlights the technology's benefits. Start by clearly articulating the technology's purpose and how it aligns with pedagogical goals and learning outcomes. Present evidence of its effectiveness through research studies, case studies, or testimonials from other educators. Offer hands-on workshops or training sessions to provide practical experience and address any technical challenges. Showcase successful implementation examples and demonstrate how the technology can enhance teaching practices and improve student learning.

As an edtech expert, when dealing with wary educators, you are introducing them to new educational tools. You should show the facts through data-driven results. Give them training on how to utilize educational technology tools.
