Ethnographic study
For the ethnographic study, I focused on instructional strategies that teachers use when implementing educational technology. I observed teachers and the teacher librarian during instruction, as well as students working in the computer lab, and administrators during staff and grade-level meetings. Through my observations, I was able to see the extent to which teachers were utilizing educational technology. I focused on three types of uses of technology in education:
- Technology for instructional preparation
- Technology for instructional delivery
- Technology as a learning tool
