Teacher education programs often focus on how to use technology rather than on how to teach with technology. Further, teachers with more exposure to technology do not always use technology tools to help their students learn. This study investigated an educational technology course that provided hands-on activities in a collaborative, non-threatening environment to determine if it would improve the perceived technology competence of the teachers and also to determine if teachers' classroom technology use would increase after the course ended. The findings suggest that the perceived technology competence of participant teachers improved and teachers were moving toward increasing their technology use in the classroom even though technology is still unavailable or inaccessible in some schools.
