Using Live Modeling To Train Preservice Teachers To Integrate Technology Into Their Teaching, Richard Edward West
Using Live Modeling To Train Preservice Teachers To Integrate Technology Into Their Teaching, Richard Edward West
Theses and Dissertations
Many researchers feel that teacher preparation programs are not doing enough to prepare teachers to effectively use technology. The result is a plethora of teachers who may know the basic functions of different programs, but who are unprepared to integrate these skills into their teaching. One method used by a few preservice programs, including BYU's, is the use of modeling sessions, otherwise referred to as live modeling.

Why Are Those Computers Sitting Over There Gathering Dust, Bradford Ralph Austin
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project was to create electronic books (E-books) for kindergartens to read during their center time.
