Description:
In 2001, the University of Minnesota Morris received a U.S.
Department of Education Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use
Technology (PT3) grant to implement a New Teachers New Technology
(NTNT) project. The NTNT project aims to prepare pre-service
teachers to effectively use technology in instruction to improve
student learning and academic achievement. The project involved 23
consortium PK-12 schools in the Morris area, as well as national and
international partners.
ACET services:
As part of the
Evaluation framework, five instruments were developed by ACET in
collaboration with NTNT staff: (1) site visit protocol; (2) focus
group and interview questions; (3) performance-based assessment; (4)
technologies competencies checklist; and (5) on-line surveys for
project stakeholders. ACET also implemented the evaluation plan,
collected the data, analyzed the data, and reported the results in
several venues, including the 2004 Society of Information Technology
and Teacher Education International Conference.
