PT3_at_ASU Project Overview
5
Field-Based Model

• Field-based, situation-specific technology
  training integrated into teaching methods
  experiences
• Training and guidance for methods faculty and
  placement teachers to assist with integrating
  appropriate technology into teaching activities
• Ongoing field-based support for all participants

6
Pre-Service Teachers

• Required to participate in two modeling sessions
  each semester
• Sessions aligned with core content curricula
  (math, science, language arts, social studies)
• Required to develop, implement, and evaluate one
  technology lesson each semester

7
Issues and Problems

• Pre-service teachers can only participate in a
  minimal number of modeling activities
• Placement teachers may not be good models of
  technology integration
• Methods faculty lack resources and expertise in
  technology integration

8
Potential Solution

• Provide pre-service teachers with opportunities
  for virtual field experiences
• Rich video cases of authentic classroom
  activities to supplement authentic experience
• Wide variety of content areas and grade levels
• Focus on technology integration

Wise Practices Multimedia Database

• Partnership among PT3 _at_ ASU, AzTEC, and Indiana
  University
• Primary audience Pre-service teachers
• Eventually also in-service teachers and methods
  faculty
• Focus on technology integration
• Rich, case-based video database
