Abstract

Recent literature on effective technology integration practices suggests that teachers need support that is onsite, ongoing, and just in time. This paper examines the utility of a model called collaborative apprenticeship that addresses these principle characteristics. In this framework, mentor teachers coach and scaffold the professional development of their peers in the context of their school environment until protegees can independently explore technology tools and design technology-enhanced learning activities. Findings from a research study incorporating this model in an elementary school setting will be discussed, along with implications to promote its practical use.
