Abstract
This paper describes the successful development of a one-year capacity building grant funded by the U. S. Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology (PT3) program. The focus of the grant was to prepare teacher candidates to become proficient in developing and delivering classroom lessons that effectively incorporate technology in the learning process so that all students (Pre-kindergarten to 12 th grade) use technology in demonstrating mastery of lesson plan objectives. Qualitative and quantitative results indicate that the preparation model has been successful with teacher candidates becoming proficient in developing and delivering technology-integrated lesson plans. Moreover, participants' (i.e., teacher candidates, mentor-teachers, and university faculty) comfort level with technology and frequency of technology usage has increased.
