Implementing
Partnerships Across the Curriculum with
Technology

Abstract
As the number of computers accessible to students
and teachers
has increased, there has been a growing emphasis
on integrating
technology across the curriculum. Even though
schools increasingly
invest in new technologies, the actual use of
computers
in classrooms remains limited. This paper examines
a model
developed to guide the implementation of a
Preparing Tomorrow’s
Teachers to use Technology (PT3) project and its
capacity
to promote improvement of teachers’ ability to
integrate
technologies into their instructional practice.
The essential
conditions, identified by ISTE, provided the
foundation
on which this model was developed. Emphasis was
placed on
access, professional development, support,
incentives, and
assessment, with the remaining conditions embedded
within.
The findings indicate that the model was effective
in improving
teachers’ technical skills and their ability to
integrate
technology into instructional practice.
