Editorial: Preparing Teachers for Tomorrow's Technologies

Technology is rapidly changing how we teach and how we learn. Emergent technologies offer opportunities to understand concepts in deeper, often different, and more meaningful ways. However, this growth in understanding will occur only if teachers learn to use these technologies in effective ways. The federal initiative, Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (PT3), was launched in 1999 to address this challenge. Startup funding to establish the National Technology Leadership Coalition (NTLC) was included among the 400 grants awarded through this effort.
