This document discusses the importance of effective professional development for teachers to successfully integrate technology into their classrooms. It notes that while teachers have access to technology, few use it appropriately. Effective professional development demonstrates why technology integration is important, teaches educators how to integrate it, and offers diverse training methods. It is important for professional development to assess teacher needs, set goals, and identify funding. When done poorly, professional development can negatively impact teacher attitudes towards technology integration.
