| Abstract | In Part 1 of a two-part article series, the authors reported on the shortcomings of existing teacher preparation practice concerning technology and teacher education and described the theoretical grounding behind one model for inte grating technology into teacherpreparation (Duran & Fossum, 2010). Part 2 here reports on a research project that applied the model at a major university in the U.S. Over a three-year period involving seven cohort groups, 246 educators participated in the study, which combined both quantitative and qualitative data collection and an alysis. Findings indicate that over the course of the program, project participants signifi cantly improved their confidence and competence in technology literacy as well as integr ation of information technology into the teaching and learning process. The study demons trates that an approach to professional development that encourages networking, mutual learning, and sharing of strategies and resources among K-16 educators can b e effective in improving technology integration in teacher preparation. |
