Facilitating a Constructivist Vision of Technology Integration among Education Faculty and Preservice Teachers

This article describes year two of an ongoing Goals 2000 Preservice Technology Infusion Project that sought to prepare higher education faculty, K–12 teachers, and preservice teachers to integrate technology into their instruction to facilitate a dynamic, constructivist vision of technology integration. Results indicate that project activities facilitated (1) increased proficiency in technology applications and instructional methods among all participants and (2) faculty integration of technology in education courses. In addition, higher education faculty and preservice teachers felt that project activities enabled a constructivist view of technology integration, as they now see technology as an instructional tool used to engage students in meaningful learning.
