Abstract (written by WestEd)
Using a vignette format, the authors examine one teacher's (a composite character) inquiry-based classroom at one point in time and then again three years later. Although technology was involved in both cases, once the school and district replaced the computer coordinator with an "educational technologist," substantive changes in teaching and learning became apparent. The educational technologist worked closely with the teachers and district personnel to deepen the curriculum with the help of technology, to provide embedded professional development, to support systemic change, and to support learning communities.
