Educate at Penn State: Preparing Beginning Teachers with Powerful Digital Tools
Murray, Orrin T.; Zembal-Saul, Carla
Journal of Computing in Higher Education, v20 n2 p48-58 Nov 2008

This discussion looks at how one teacher education program reached the conclusion that students and faculty would use notebook computers. Frequently referred to as one-to-one initiatives, there is ample evidence that Penn State College of Education's program is not another false summit in the pursuit to have technology transform teaching and learning.
