A primary goal of the PT3 grant at the University of
Vermont's College of Education and Social Services was to help faculty
members integrate technology into their on-campus teaching, and also
to help their students find creative ways to use technology in their
field-based teaching. The following are some examples of how University
faculty members and their pre-service students have made use of technology
in their teaching.
