Abstract

The poster presentation will feature findings from the formative and summative evaluation of one component of the U.S. Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers for Technology (PT3) Project at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The initiative, "Teachers on the Go", provided laptop computers, software, and technical support/training to faculty and students in the College of Education's Teacher Education Division (TED). Qualitative and quantitative data collections methodologies were employed in the evaluation: evaluators made informal observations of classes, conducted focus group interviews with students and faculty, and implemented an on-line pre and post survey for students. Findings include formative information that was used to guide program refinement and summative information assessing short-term program outcomes. Findings encompass two years of evaluation activity and provide initial outcome data based on the experiences of over 200 TED students
