The primary goal of this study is to explore and identify indicators of best practices in technology integration by the teacher education faculty. This is a qualitative study involving seven teacher education faculty members who participated in the University's federally funded grant, Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3). Interviews with faculty, classroom observations, faculty websites, and content analyses of the PT3 proposals written by each faculty member were used to triangulate the data. This study will benefit faculty members and their preservice student teachers by providing insights into their personal beliefs, philosophy, and practices. The emerging indicators of best practices will help illuminate the impact modeling can have on the preservice teachers. The indicators may also help faculty set a benchmark for their work and evaluate their practices against national and state technology standards.
