Description of the Book:

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) (1999) stated it is important to study models that are making effective use and integration of technology in teacher education on an ongoing basis. The purpose of this study is to respond to this need by portraying three education faculty members after they experienced a federally funded technology-based project. Their practices, beliefs, and experiences are the focus of this study. Findings include: (1) the range of previous experiences with technology varies dramatically, but all participants have used some computers for personal and professional tasks; (2) although actively learning to integrate technology and seeing positive impacts on their students, they do not believe that technology is the only tool for effective instruction; and (3) gender, age, social networking, access to current hardware and access to technical support remain issues needing consideration in the design of technology implementation in higher education settings.
