This paper will describe the experience of constructing web-based portfolios in a technology course for pre-service teachers. Implications for constructing portfolios around reflective and evaluative frameworks will also be discussed.

Effective teaching to promote student learning is the ultimate goal of all educational practice. Therefore, one can naturally deduce that programs should be measured, when possible, against the impact had on learning. This paper discusses four...

Leaders and organizations in education are advocating a paradigm shift toward a more constructivist approach to teaching and learning. While this shift is far from over, it has become apparent that technology plays a central role in facilitating the ...

American public school personnel are under pressure like never before. Pushed by an increase in accountability, administrators must find ways to effectively prepare teachers to increase student achievement. The National Staff Development Council...

This presentation aims to analyze two Internet-based teacher education (IBTE) endeavors for in-service teachers. Critical components of Internet-based learning will be highlighted and implications for using the Internet in both teacher education and ...

InterMath is a professional development approach aimed at building teacher mathematical content knowledge and helping teachers develop the skills and knowledge to integrate technology into their own mathematical problem solving as well as into their ...

The purpose of this paper is to consider five offerings of InterMath, a technology-rich, mathematics professional development program for middle grades teachers. This presentation aims to share the experiences of middle grades mathematics teachers...

This paper discusses a research study conducted with seventh grade students, in which the students solved a series of open-ended mathematical investigations about geometry. A computer-based tutorial was provided for all of the students. The study...

Instruction has undergone a paradigm shift to a more constructivist approach. This shift mandates that instruction be learner-centered and incorporate opportunities for the learner to actively engage in learning activities. The influence of...

Support for the use of technology-based authentic learning environments during instruction has emerged in the past decade. Although the benefits of situating students in technology-rich open-ended learning environments has been observed by...
