"The transformation of classroom technology from hardware, software, and connections into tools for teaching and learning depends on knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers who are motivated and prepared to put technology to work on behalf of their students," notes the CEO Forum on Education and Technology (1999). Yet, many teachers do not have the technical knowledge or skills to recognize the potential for technology in teaching and learning. Just knowing how to use a computer is not enough. Instead, teachers must become knowledgeable about technology and self-confident enough to integrate it effectively in the classroom. Teachers, in other words, must become "fearless in their use of technology" and empowered by the many opportunities it offers (Illinois State Board of Education, n.d.). Most teachers want to learn to use educational technology effectively, but they lack the time, access, and support necessary to do so (Guhlin, 1996). 3 http://www.furl.net/item/31693022/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31693022 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:26:47 GMT Curriculum Technology, Webdesign 5 http://www.furl.net/item/31692065/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31692065 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:49:31 GMT Curriculum Technology, Webdesign 3 http://www.furl.net/item/31653243/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31653243 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 14:21:04 GMT High Resolution Images Public Domain Government 3 http://www.furl.net/item/31652070/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31652070 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:37:26 GMT High Resolution Images Public Domain Wildlife 5 http://www.furl.net/item/31537544/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31537544 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:07:07 GMT Technology, Webdesign 3 http://www.furl.net/item/31537479/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31537479 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:05:42 GMT Technology, Webdesign Useability Checklist 5 http://www.furl.net/item/31510551/forward http://www.furl.net/item/31510551 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:38:41 GMT Technology Integration Technology, Curriculum 5
