training to teachers; Phase 2 recommended a comprehensive
plan to deliver technology training to teachers.
The phases were implemented in a small school district
which had 337 students and 28 teachers. The Computer
Attitude Scale by Brenda Loyd was administered as a
pre/post test to measure changes in teacher computer
attitudes. The Computer Knowledge Test developed by the
Texas Computer Education Association measured the teachers'
knowledge of technology. Changes in the teachers' use of
technology was evaluated with assistance requests,
classroom observations, and journal entries.
Based upon data analysis, the following conclusions
were made: (1) Educators in small schools are interested
in improving their technology use. (2) Given an
appropriate model, educators in small schools can perceive
technology staff development needs. (3) Small schools can
improve technology staff development without large budgets
and staff. (4) Teachers in small schools can develop
positive attitudes and increase their knowledge and use of
technology. (5) Small schools can benefit from a
comprehensive staff development program for technology.
