Infusing technology use in higher education through faculty mini-grants

Project ImPACT is an implementation project funded by the Department of Education as part of the Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology initiative. One goal of Project ImPACT focuses on faculty development in the integration of technology in pre-service teacher education. This paper reports on a mini-grant program designed to support faculty members as they design new ways to integrate technology into student learning activities. Two primary activities that occurred over an academic year formed the structure of the professional development: technology integration through mini-grants and paired development activities with an individual mentor.
