Technology integration through collaborative cohorts preparing future teachers to use technology

Although technology is increasingly being considered an instructional tool for students with disabilities, effective integration of technology into the prek-12 classroom for students with disabilities has been limited. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of a technology cohort model that seeks to enhance teacher use of technology through a collaborative learning model. By creating an environment where teacher educators, preservice teacher education students, and prek-12 teachers can learn together, changes can occur in how technology is effectively applied to the instruction of students with disabilities.
