Three Points to Know Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) ASU West and U.S. Department of Education Project Arizona State University West College of Education 4701 W. Thunderbird Road, Glendale, AZ 85306-4908 (602) 543-6411 Fax: (602) 543-6350 www.west.asu.edu/pt3 Three Points to Know Student Teaching Plus Student teacher and cooperating teacher teams will attend workshops prior to and during the student teaching semester to assist them in the development of units integrating technology. The student teachers, with the help of their cooperating teachers will implement these technology rich units during their student teaching. Objective: Using the Unit of Practice (UOP) framework, each student teacher, in collaboration with the cooperating teacher, will develop and implement a multi-week unit or series of lessons from the required curriculum for that grade and subject area that integrates technology in sustained and important ways. Arizona State University West Faculty The PT3 project will provide models of technology use in teacher education courses. ASUW faculty will learn to use new technologies, identify opportunities for technology integration, and develop technology rich projects for their students. Arizona Classrooms of Tomorrow Today (AZCOTT) K-12 partner school districts will create classrooms that will become Arizona Classrooms of Tomorrow Today. The purpose of these classrooms is to provide models of technology integration where interns, student teachers and other teachers can observe technology being used effectively. Student Teaching Plus participants are encouraged to visit one of these classrooms.

Assumptions • The instrument must have certain characteristics • 1. The instrument itself should: • a. Answer the core question: has this teacher integrated technology in an appropriate way? • b. Be adaptable • c. Be suited to a 30-45 minute observation • d. Possess high inter-rater reliability • e. Be sensitive to the developmental process of technology integration

Assumptions • We can learn from other sources • 2. Useful information • a. The Timms instrument • b. Information technology competencies • c. NETS standards from ISTE • d. Previous observation instruments • The most critical feature: Defining integration 3. The instrument must reflect technology integration, which is observable.
