There are many studies investigating the use of technology in the classroom, but far fewer directly addressing the issue of teachers training needs in the use of that
technology. Following is an annotated bibliography of several studies that focus on teachers needs for training. Dunlap, Craig George (2002). Effective Technology Integration: A Plan for Professional
Development. Document ED473018, ERIC Database. This study focuses on the effectiveness of educational technology in increasing student learning, based on the research
question, "If technology is an effective tool in the classroom, how can teachers best be trained to use it appropriately?" (Dunlap, 2002). This quantitative study used control and experimental
groups in a constructivist math class; ANOVA analysis of group comparisons showed little difference in academic gains but indicated greater motivation within the experimental group. Ebersole, Samuel and Marge Vorndam
(2002). Adoption of Computer-Based Instructional Methodologies: A Case Study. Document ED477002, ERIC Database. This is the report of a qualitative
survey of "24 lead faculty members at a regional comprehensive university" (Ebersole and Vorndam, 2002), the purpose of which was to "discover barriers and incentives to the adoption of educational
technology" (Ebersole and Vorndam, 2002). The researchers found "time, resources, and lack of confidence in the benefit of educational technology" (Ebersole and Vorndam, 2002) to be the leading barriers
as reported by the survey respondents. Ferdig, Richard E. and Laura R. Roehler (2003-2004, Winter). Student Uptake in Electronic Discussions: Examining Online Discourse in Literacy Preservice Classrooms.
