Re: tkt8763-01: Idea Request (fwd)

This may be useless, but I would get a group of student teachers who are
working toward a computer certification and then a group of student
teachers who are not interested in computers or have little knowledege of
technology.  You could observe how both groups teach and incorporate tech.
into their lessons.  Also, at one point have the non-techers use tech to
see if their students are benefitted more.  

Like I said, this may be a terrible idea.  I have never done anything like
this before.  Good Luck!
