Teacher Response Model: A Possible Evolution for Our Quest for Technology Integration

• In Event: TED- Teacher Perspectives on Professional Development (h)

Short Description

In this paper, we propose an evolution that expands the focus of our field’s current quest for technology integration beyond the product of a teacher’s decision making towards understanding the process of decision making about technology. The process is rooted in three key ideas -- that technology integration is (1) value driven, (2) embedded in a dynamic system, and (3) a product of a teacher’s perception of what is possible. We then combine these ideas into a model that visually depicts how a teacher makes decisions about integrating technology within a dynamic system.
