CHARGE:

Survey faculty regarding the use of technology in teaching (preparation for teaching, instruction, grading, courseware), scholarship and service

See what types of training has been provided in the past 2 years and by whom, and what is needed

Check convenient availability of and purpose of use for various technologies. Consider these:
            Computer, printers
            Internet or web-based materials
            Multimedia (scanners, digital cameras, CD-ROM)
            Software packages for word processing, spreadsheets, databases
            Teaching tools (gradebook, blackboard)
            E-mail
            Presentation software, reference tools
            Content specific software
            Portfolio tools (e.g. HyperStudio)
            Mobile Wireless computing
            Other

Seek information about the level of adoption for use of technology in instruction
        1. Awareness: I am aware that technology exists but have not used it perhaps I'm even avoiding it. I am anxious about the prospect of using computers or other forms of technology in my classroom
        2. Learning the process: I am currently trying to learn the basics. I am sometimes frustrated using computers/technology. I lack confidence when using computers or other forms of technology.
        3. Understanding and application of the process: I am beginning to understand the process of using technology and can think of specific tasks in which it might be useful.
        4. Familiarity & Confidence: I am gaining a sense of confidence in using the computer or other forms of technology for specific tasks. I am starting to feel comfortable.
        5. Adaptation to other contexts: I think about technology as a tool to help me and am no longer concerned about its use. I can use it in many applications to prepare for and involve students in instruction.
        6. Creative application to new contexts: I can apply what I know about technology in the classroom. I am able to use it as a tool to involve students in innovative ways. I frequently integrate technology into the way that I involve students in instruction.
