Exploring Technology Integration in a Field-Based Teacher
Education Program: Implementation Efforts and Findings
Sharla L. Snider
Texas Woman’s University
Abstract
The Learning and Integrating New Knowledge and
Skills (LINKS) project is designed to integrate established and emerging
technologies into the teacher preparation curriculum at Texas
Woman’s University. LINKS addresses the technology needs of
preservice teachers by supporting their development as well as the
associated development of their mentor teachers and university
instructors. This approach is consistent with best practice, and the
research conducted to evaluate the efficacy of project implementation
within the preservice teacher population is discussed. The project, as
well as the accompanying research, is supported by a U.S. Department of
Education Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology
implementation grant. (Keywords: concerns-based adoption model,
field-based teacher preparation, preservice teachers, project
evaluation, PT3, technology integration, U.S. Department of Education.)
