Teachers as Learners
[|Teacher as Learner� Journey] - The following document is a breakdown of a broader article; as taken from �Professional Development in Technology: Catalyst for School Reform� by Patricia E. Holland, Houston, Texas 2001 Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 9 (2). It discusses how there might be identifiable stages that teachers may go through on a learner journey of ICT and possible professional development strategies they might help. This continuum should not be interpreted as linear process, only as a healthy guide to more discussion about teacher's current understandings and knowledge of ICT's. http://centre4.interact.ac.nz/viewfile.php/382/file/35/27837/TeacherasLearnerJourney.doc
