Evaluating the Integration of Intel Teach Elements Modules and Critical Thinking Skills in Teacher Education Coursework
Gautreau, Cynthia [about]
Education technology resources are readily available on websites. Teachers, particularly new teachers, benefit from evaluating resources to determine potential benefits and application of learning objectives in instruction. Intel Teach Elements (ITE) are web based instructional modules designed for classroom teachers as a source of professional development and provide lesson ideas that support technology integration and critical thinking at all levels. As a professor of education, evaluating innovative resources is a common practice to promote currency in courses. This study reports findings after integrating the ITE module titled Working with Data. Findings include information about pre-service teachers perceptions, evaluation feedback, and faculty recommendations. As with most resources, the more often faculty utilize technology resources as an integral part of instruction and promote change, the more likely formal adoption will occur. Therefore, as illustrated in the following review of literature (Bates, 2005; Morgan & Hill, 2005; Richlan, 2006), an effective method of including new resources into instruction demonstrates the potential advantages of resources.
