Technology Barriers & Usability

AI Concerns

When new tools are introduced, technical difficulties—such as device compatibility, recording issues, or user frustration—can slow adoption. Educators who have a bad first experience with AI may be hesitant to use it again.

Strategies to Address This Concern

1. Offer Dedicated Tech Support Early
  • Sibme has a world-class Support Team which is available in-app and via email to answer questions, troubleshoot, and provide support.
  • Ensure that IT teams are a part of your launch and planning so they can work alongside Sibme Support when necessary.
2. Pilot AI with a Small Group First
  • Test Sibme AI with early adopters before rolling out to the entire school.
3. Provide Training
  • Leverage Sibme’s many onboarding resources including micro-courses, short video tutorials and live Q&A sessions to onboard staff efficiently.
  • Take advantage of Sibme Academy. Here you'll find a collection of micro-courses that provide an introduction to Sibme, including Sibme AI.
  • If you’ve purchased an Onboarding package, your Sibme Implementation Specialist can help you identify and deliver the best training experience.
4. Anticipate and Address Common Issues

Case Study

District Overcomes Tech Hurdles to Embrace Sibme

Teachers in Norristown School District initially faced challenges recording videos on Chromebooks and had concerns about student privacy, which delayed their use of Sibme.

Virtual Coaching to the Rescue

To help, Sibme’s Virtual Coaching Team partnered with the district’s tech department to troubleshoot the technical issues. They also provided training on video blur features to address privacy concerns. Once these barriers were resolved, teachers grew more confident using the platform — including Sibme AI — which led to broader adoption across the district.
