Creating Conditions for Powerful Technology Use: Teachers' Technology Journey in Puerto Rico
Lopez, Carol; Younge, Odelia
Digital Promise
This study explores the ways in which teachers in Puerto Rico are currently increasing their effective use of technology for their instructional practice through expanded access to professional learning opportunities and supports. The aim of this study was to gain insight about the effectiveness and impact of professional learning supports for technology integration and use, including competency-based micro-credentials, for educators. This report synthesizes the findings from the perspective of 14 teachers on their technology journey as well as from larger island-wide surveys and data. It sought to identify patterns and trends, as well as common structural barriers and opportunities, influencing the professional learning and development of teachers around their use of technology as part of their classroom practice.
