教育学院获科技资助
Dr. Arthur Recesso, assistant professor of Curriculum and
Instructional Technology and Dr. Martha Venn, assistant professor
of Special Education and Communication Disorders, received a three
year grant for $906,015 from the U. S. Department of Education to
fund a grant program titled "Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use
Technology" (PT3).
The PT3 grant is designed to train future teachers to use
technology more effectively in the classroom and to integrate
technology-based learning environments. Part of the grant will go
towards increasing the emphasis on technology in the College of
Education's curriculum, particularly in regard to use of
technologies for assisting special education students.
"It's a collaborative grant across two departments and the
Educational Technology Training Center (ETTC)," Venn said. The ETTC
is a Georgia Department of Education program that trains Georgia's
teachers to use technology. vs上 is one of several ETTC locations
around the state.
PT3 will also facilitate interaction among pre-service teachers,
in-service teachers and university faculty in regard to technology
use, and provide them with technical support. "I think this is an
exciting opportunity to work with K-12 teachers to further
integrate technology into their classrooms," Recesso said.
Finally, PT3 will develop learning systems that apply computer and
videoconferencing technologies both to learning and assessment. The
project will "build on the Middle Grades Catalyst Initiative
(INTECH) training by infusing an assistive technology component and
requiring all regular and special education students to [train]
with their mentor teachers," Venn said.
