Abstract
In this information technology era, the teachers who are in special needs education school are offered to utilize Assistive Technologies and ICT. The presence of others affects to the teacher's action regarding new technology use. Thus, the authors aim to reveal how the outside personnel such as researchers and school volunteers encourage the teachers when they install technologies into their educational practices. The authors collected interview data from a teacher who utilized OriHime, a tele-presence robot in her lessons with outside personnel. As a result, we found a boundary that a teacher can individually act, and it can be expanded by cooperation with outside personnel and other teachers who are belonging to the school. Outside personnel such as researcher and school volunteer can help the teacher through active participation to the educational practice.
