Abstract

Teachers need to develop new informational and technological skills, as well as feelings of competence and confidence, in order to help their students to use the Internet for learning. To develop these skills and dispositions, teachers need support for their learning and a user-friendly technological infrastructure. This article reports findings related to teacher learning from two phases of an ongoing program of research investigating Internet use in Alberta schools. Teachers' experiences as they learned about the Internet were examined through school-based projects and through a provincial survey. The findings suggest that important aspects of technical support and learning support are lacking for many Alberta teachers.
