Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if teachers could be taught to use and much more importantly integrate technology into their specific classroom curriculum in a national online graduate level educational technology course for K-12 teachers, Teachers Discovering Computers. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed. The pretest and posttest surveys included fourteen, five-point Likert items, and the posttest contained five open-ended questions. Analyst of quantitative data revealed there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the pretest and posttest scores, p = .000. Qualitative data revealed that 100% of the student had a positive experience in the class and learned how to use and integrate technology into their specific classroom curriculum. The combination of both the statistical and qualitative analysis lead the researcher to conclude that the impact of the course on the student's perception and integration of technology into the curriculum was dramatic.
