This article examines whether teachers properly utilize technology in their classrooms, despite their level of technological competency, and how to better prepare teachers to use technology in the classroom. First, this study found that teachers are often not properly taught how to teach with technology and, as a result, often do not properly implement technology into their classrooms.
