AbstractExemplary technology-using teachers achieve meaningful technology use in learner-centered, constructive environments despite the presence of both internal and external barriers. In this study, we discuss factors that enabled teachers to overcome these barriers, as identified by 25 winners of statewide technology teacher awards. In addition, we explored teachers perceptions of the relative value of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that were perceived to play key roles in their success.
