When I first started thinking about my DISSERTATION!!!!

Ideas
*interview recently hired to see where the gap is in preserving education. What is the biggest shock in terms of technology after being educated in preservice program? What didn't they prepare you for?
*Survey of what they think preservice teachers need to see in terms of technology integration. Would you be willing to be follow-up interviewed to gather more information?
*How does using technology enhance effectiveness?
**How do we alter pedagogical beliefs to fully integrate technology as part of their constructivist beliefs?
*What process do teachers go through to get from novice to expert?
*What process do expert technology users go through in order to get to this quality technology integration?
-is it affecting beliefs first?
-are the stages?
-different processes for everyone?
-make the process more individualized?
-test to see which way works best for each person?
-do they need to believe in the merits? Pedagogical?
-do they need to see it at work?
-do they need to learn skills? Then integration? Then methods? Then field experiences?
-do they need to see the connections to their field and subject matter before they will believe and then will integrate?
-what are the different factors that help people learn how to integrate technology in a quality fashion?
***I can take these processes and see which ones are the most effective in preparing teachers to effectively integrate technology. Perhaps have them choose their own process and document the process using a portfolio. Different workshops, mini-courses, opportunities for working with professors, integrating it into their other teacher education courses.
POTENTIAL QUESTIONS:
-What do you think preservice education should look like?
-Describe the process you went through to move from a novice technology integrationist to an expert?
-What is your current view of technology? And how does this influence your pedagogy?
-Can you give me an example of how you integrated technology in an exemplary way?
-What forms of professional development aided b

neilson survey.
