Abstract:
This session will share with researchers and teacher educators an online inventory designed to gauge new teachers' technology literacy. The Technology Literacy Inventory was designed as part of Bank Street College's PT3 work. It asks asks teacher candidates to aid a fictional colleague by proposing technology enhancements to one of the colleague's lessons. The lessons contained in the instrument were adapted from those highlighted in the ISTE’s NETS Standards for Teachers. The session will highlight results from early pilots of the tool with teachers, and will solicit participant feedback on the tool as well.
