Abstract

Most teachers graduate from teacher education institutions with limited knowledge of the ways technology can be used in their professional practice (Wetzel & Chisholm, 1996). Few preservice teachers have any instruction in actually using technology in the classroom (Vagle, 1995), and yet, being able to effectively apply technology is high on the list of what beginning teachers should know and be able to do in today's classroom (Kortecamp & Croninger, 1995). Transferring technology skills from teacher preparation to classroom practice has been limited and has been identified as the "weakest link of most educational programs" (Browne & Ritchie, 1991, p. 28). Integrating technology in teacher education programs is a necessity so preservice teachers are able to see the importance of developing and using computer-based lessons in their own teaching (Wiburg, 1991).
