Dear teachers:
If you are a K-12 teacher in the United States, you are
invited to participate in a study titled “Teacher Perception
of Technology Integration in the Workplace: A National
Study.” If you teach in a teacher education program, please
feel free to forward this invitation to any graduates that
you think might be interested in participating in this
study. If you already filled out the survey, thanks for your
assistance and please dismiss this message.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to
investigate teachers’ perceptions of technology integration
in the workplace as it relates to their self-confidence in
computer use, their preparation in formal and informal
technology courses in teacher education programs from which
they have graduated, and administrative and technical
support in their workplace.
Benefits: The findings could be used by teacher educators to
revise technology courses and by K-12 school administrators
to reconsider necessary support of technology integration
for teachers’ practices. The benefits to you in
participating in the study are receiving a copy of a summary
of the study results.
Procedures to be Followed: You as a teacher are invited to
participate in the study by completing a web-based survey.
You will also be asked about your willingness to participate
in a possible telephone interview. You do not have to agree
to being interviewed in order to complete the survey.
If interviewed, you will be asked more detailed questions
about your opinion on the type of experiences you had
regarding technology integration during your teacher
preparation program, whether you feel that you were
adequately prepared, how you have used technology in your
classroom, and your perception of the administrative and
technical support that you have at your school.
Duration: The survey will take approximately 20 minutes of
your time. The interview, if conducted, will take
approximately 30 minutes.
Risks: There are no risks in participating in this study
beyond those experienced in everyday life.
Compensation: There is no compensation for participating in
this study.
Voluntary Participation/Alternative: Your participation in
this project is voluntary. You have the right to withdraw at
any time. You do not have to answer any questions you do not
want to answer. The alternative is not to participate.
Statement of Confidentiality: Your responses will be
confidential to ensure that they cannot be linked to you
personally. Any personal information you provide that is
linked to your name will be held in strict confidence when
the data are presented in a written report.
Right to Ask Questions: If you have any questions, now or
later, you may contact us at the numbers below. If you have
any questions about your rights as a human subject, please
contact the University of South Dakota Institutional Review
Board at 605-677-6184.

Help anyone help need any information possible.
My name is Amanda Larkins, I am 26 years old and I
currently live in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. I am
interested in coming to Rhode Island to teach in the
elementary \ special needs department of a school. I hold
a Bachelors of Arts in Learning Difficulties \ Learning
Disabilities and I currently completing my teaching
certificate in Elementary School Teaching in the UK. I
have a few questions to ask and would really appreciate
any information \ advice available.
As this is a beginning of my looking into this can you
tell me what qualifications Rhode Island is looking for
from their prospective teachers? As stated before I do
have a degree in Learning Disabilities from a British
University and in addition I have been working with
learning disabilities for the past 2 years.
Another question I have is how should I go about looking
for a position as a teacher? Especially as an
international teacher? Are there websites that I can
search for positions? Does the State of Rhode Island hire
international teachers and work with the applicants in
getting them a visa?
As stated above as well any other information you can
provide to me on the subject would be very helpful. I
really dont know where to begin?
Thank you very much for your time.

Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a
politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the
head of the education committee. His name is Kent
Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for
his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since
he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our
continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap
for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew
those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports
vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public
education. There is a lady running against him this year
who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane
Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb
21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We
have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a
nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the
primary. Those of us who care about our children are
asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or
email their friends and family to ask them to vote for
Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool,
straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to
vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane
Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington,
Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them
to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a
great rest-of-the-year!
