Richard A. Diem (The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA)

Abstract: The paper presented here discusses the need to develop a technologically oriented trauning model for K-12 teachers. This model would have, as its core, a context, process, and content emphasis. To implement the type of design discussed, a series of training modules that incorporate context, process, and content are developed. Each is patterned for specific school needs and rescources. Implementation strategies are also included.
