We are fortunate that we have been able to accomplish quite a great deal with technology integration, especially this year with the ongoing Faculty Enhancement Project. A number of our Graduate Program in teaching faculty are engaged in projects that will enhance their courses with technology so that future teachers will be taught by professors that are modeling the use of technology.

During this year, RTT staff and partners have had a number of opportunities to disseminate project products and findings. Among these, the major endeavors were our Collaborative Exchange Visit in November 2002 and our attendance and presentations at the SITE (Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education) conference in March 2003.

The “Ready To Teach” project is requesting a no cost extension so that we can complete our work with the faculty in order to make a true and lasting change with the infusion of technology throughout the education curriculum at UML. Our goal is also to disseminate products, evaluative information, etc. that we have gathered during the course of the last 4 years of work with PT 3.
