Abstract

Many education faculty members do not feel qualified to integrate and model the use of technology in their own teaching. A faculty development program is one college's approach to expanding the confidence and abilities of education professors to use technology as a teaching tool. The college's Technology Committee conducted a needs assessment consisting of focus group discussions and a survey to discover and prioritize the technology interests and abilities of faculty. In response to the needs, the committee prioritized technology purchasing, developed an online technology FAQ, sponsored a technology open house, and held small Tech Friday focused learning sessions.
