DC—This award recognizes excellence in research in the area of
technology
and teacher education and is awarded by the Teacher Education Special
Interest

Technology
in Education (ISTE®).
First Place
winners are
Melissa Pierson and Alysa McLachlan, University of
Houston, Project
title: Case Studies of Future Teachers: Learning to Teach with
Technology. The
winning project is a longitudinal study that explores preservice
teachers' developing
vision of technology in teaching and learning. Participants include
eight teacher
education students whom the authors are following for four years, the
two years
of the teacher education program and the first two inductive years of
teaching.
The authors are using qualitative methods of interviewing and
observation and
have begun to come to an understanding of their developing vision of
teaching
with technology, including their expectations for teaching with
technology,
perceived challenges of technology, questioning classroom uses of
technology,
and the driving development of a technology-rich program by education
students.
Award recipients will present their research paper at the 2004
National Educational
Computing Conference (NECC), June 20–23, in
New Orleans,
Louisiana.
