A theme for this year's Techtalk is keeping up with technology, emphasizing both professional development and new technology. This first column will look at the how and why of professional development. A second column will highlight wireless technology. The National Association for Developmental Education's Executive Board (NADE, 2001) resolved that developmental educators should regularly engage in professional development. Similar recommendations were also made by most of the professional organizations in our field. Missing from these recommendations, however, were specific guidelines for professional development in technology. Standards, levels, and resources for professional development in technology integration for developmental educators are proposed.
