Abstract: The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
has developed computer/technology guidelines for all teachers.
These were approved by the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) as a part of the
requirements for those seeking teacher certification in computer
literacy, computer science education, and those seeking
MA degrees in educational computing and technology. In
addition, NCATE's new Unit Accreditation guidelines require
integration of technology into teacher education programs.
For most teacher education programs, these gUidelines are
welcome and will serve as a catalyst for preparing teacher
candidates to be technologically competent. However, many
teacher education programs cannot add additional courses
to their curriculum. One way to overcome this obstacle is to
require the infusion of technology across the teacher education
curriculum and use portfolios to evaluate the success
of teacher candidates in fulfilling the ISTE/NCATE guidelines.
This article describes the successful implementation
of a technology portfolio process and suggests activities to
include in such a portfolio.
