Learning and Integrating New Knowledge and Skills (LINKS)

The Learning and Integrating New Knowledge and Skills (LINKS) project was designed to integrate established and emerging technologies into the teacher preparation program at Texas Woman's University (TWU). The project was supported by an U.S. Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) grant. LINKS encouraged development of university faculty's ability to use and model web-based technologies, changes in teacher education technology curriculum content and delivery, and enhancement of preservice teachers' performance requirements and responsibilities in field-based locations. This study's purpose was to describe changes in institutional processes as well as changes in behaviors and attitudes of faculty, mentor and supervising teachers, and preservice teachers during the second year of implementation.
