Abstract
This article describes the process of one college of
education’s transformation of three programs through a Preparing
Tomorrow’s Teachers to
Use Technology grant. Courses in the elementary, secondary, and
special education programs became laboratories for providing faculty
members
and teacher candidates with the philosophy, pedagogy, and skill set
to reconsider teaching and learning. This research used mixed methods
within the context of a case study. Results showed dramatic changes
in faculty knowledge, professional use, and integration of technology
into their courses and professional lives. Students gained some
skills but primarily broadened their recognition of the potential for
technology in their classes and became aware of larger social
issues.
