Preparing
Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3)
Grant
- Dr. Mach
and Dr.
Peter Desberg,
Coordinator of the Technology-Based Education Program,
were awarded a "Preparing
Tomorrow's Teachers to Use
Technology"
Capacity Building Grant entitled: "Infusing Technology
throughout Preservice Methods Instruction: A Capacity
Building Learning Community" from the United States
Department of Education for the 1999-2000 school year.
The grant aided CSUDH faculty and their students in the
infusion of technology into their curriculum. To this
end, the grant recipients held a series of
workshops
for Teacher Education Department faculty during the
1999-2000 school year. The Los Angeles Unified School
District and Apple Computers were consortium partners in
this effort.
- The U.S.
Department of Education announced on June 3, 2000, that
Drs. Mach and Desberg were awarded a three-year
Implementation
Grant
that extends their project for three more years
(2000-2003). Among other things, they have built a
Website
where they are in the process of compiling a list of
helpful links
for both Teacher Education faculty and their students in
designing their curriculum. In addition, they are working
with faculty to help build class
sessions
that will model technology infusion. During the 2003-4
school year, the U.S. Department of Education granted a
"no-cost extension" to the directors.
- In a
collaborative effort among methods faculty and the
project directors, two video case studies were completed
during the 2000-2001 school year to train faculty in
infusing technology into their courses. Two more such
projects have since been produced.
- The
video case studies continue to be presented at a number
of national and international conferences. Drs. Mach and
Desberg, along with social studies methods faculty Drs.
James Cantor and Diane Hembacher, conducted an Apple
Electronic Classroom Group Symposium entitled
"Infusing
Technology into Teacher Education Programs: New Paradigms
of Accountability"
at the American
Association of Colleges and Teacher
Education,
(AACTE)
conference in New York City, February 23-26, 2002. These
faculty members, as well as a third who teaches science
methods, Dr. Hedy Moscovici, presented their work with
Drs. Mach and Desberg in a concurrent session entitled
"Collaborating
to Infuse Technology into Teacher Education: A
Training-of-Trainers Model"
at the National
Educational Computing Conference
(NECC)
in San Antonio, Texas, June 15-19, 2002. An
outline
of this presentation
was distributed to participants.
- The same
faculty who presented at the NECC conference in San
Antonio, presented their work in a symposium entitled,
"Teacher

(AACTE)
conference in New Orleans, January 24-27, 2003, in the
Apple Electronic Classroom.
