This document discusses competencies needed for 21st century educators and how a Web enhanced professional development program called InTech supports those competencies. It defines Web enhanced instruction as using online technologies to supplement classroom instruction. InTech uses a learning management system, integrated email, discussions, resources, and activities. It prepares teachers for technology-rich classrooms and encourages independent exploration. Basic technology operations are supported, like email, resources, quizzes, and communication tools. Student feedback was positive about enhanced interaction with content and peers. Data on competencies and attitudes will be analyzed.

12. How Do We Define Web Enhanced? For the purpose of Web Enhanced InTech: Web enhanced instruction is defined as the use of online technologies and resources to supplement classroom instruction. Web enhanced technologies may also be used to replace a portion of the classroom instruction.

13. How is InTech Web Enhanced? Online Learning Environment – WebCT Integrated email, reflective discussion, online supplemental resources, grading, online chat areas, small group online activities Archived online comments discussions Interactive quizzes / brain checks

14. Advantages of Web Enhanced InTech Prepares teachers for classrooms of the future not just the present. Newest technologies tend to peek the innate curiosity which promotes independent exploration of content. Anytime / anywhere access encourages the use of the technology outside of the classroom. Access to the content outside of class time provides opportunities for individualized exploration and customized pacing of material.
