Abstract
Institutions that prepare educators have long included in their curriculum courses to help teachers learn to use technology well. However, the definitions of educational technology and specifications as to what teachers most need to know about technology have changed over the years. Courses and texts have gone from focusing primarily on audiovisual aids and media to microcomputers and ever more complex interactive technologies. This chapter begins with a discussion of the issues involved in preparing teachers to most effectively use technology. The planning, development, implementation and evaluation of a fully web-based distance learning course to help teachers integrate these converging technologies into their instruction is the major focus of the chapter. The chapter concludes with reflections on lessons learned and the implications for teacher education of such web-based courses.
