What models have been used to encourage teachers to integrate the Internet in their classrooms? Model I: give student teachers courses in computers. Rationale: the teachers will learn how to use WORD, the Internet etc and will want to use it in their classes

Learn how to use technology Talk about what you could do in the classroom You don’t get to experience first hand- a “different” type of learning You don’t get to experience first hand- a “different” type of learning but can’t apply the technology in the classroom

Model II: Technology Infusion aspects of technology put into different subject matter courses long-term exposure to technology and technology modeling within subject matter not necessarily transfer from the course to actual teaching No assurance that the subject matter teachers model “good” use of technology

Model III: Case-based teacher education prospective teachers study and reflect on the efforts of existing teachers who have incorporated technology into their classroom practices. prospective teachers study and reflect on the efforts of existing teachers who have incorporated technology into their classroom practices. these lesson plans are not at our disposal
