The Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) Project was created by the U.S. Department of Education to address the need for newly certified teachers to be able to integrate technology in their first years of teaching. The U.S. Education Department's PT3 Program has provided funding for projects nationwide. At the School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh, a funded project is underway and is designed to address the issues of technology use and instruction for pre-service teachers. The PT3 Project at the University of Pittsburgh was designed to help teachers become users of each of four types of technology applications that are regularly implemented by teachers who are considered successful technology integrators: personal use, classroom management, teaching technology skills to students, and integration to curriculum. This PT3 Project was constructed of a number of features, each expected to promote increased technology use by building skills and community. These features include: On-Site Support Staff support, individually chosen projects, and whole group community activities with community building activities embedded into each. Each of these features includes many activities to provide technology learning support. During the course of the pilot year of the PT3 Project at University of Pittsburgh, several strategies for increasing technology learning and community building were tested, and results were noted. Promising strategies and components identified by teachers as most effective in helping them to reach their technology goals are noted. A summary of lessons learned is given.
