Abstract

The Technology Tools for Teaching Program (T3) is a training program for schools interested in using technology in productive ways in the classroom. This program evaluation study uses survey data from the trainers who were certified in the T3 program, their trainees, students, parents and school principals. The data answers the following research questions: (1) What is the impact of the training program on the certified trainers? (2) What is the impact of the training program at the schools who participated in the program? (3) What types of technology tools are used most often by teachers? (4) What are the strengths and limitations of the program in the schools as perceived by administrators and participants? This paper discusses the research plan and presents the outcomes of the program evaluation study to date.
