Abstract: The Educational Technology Center and the Teacher Education Program at the SUNY College at Old Westbury (New York) used a cooperative approach to integrate computer technology into the teacher education curriculum and to train pre-service teachers how to use this technology successfully in the classroom. In 1989, the Teacher Education Program felt itself slow in entering the computer age; many faculty considered themselves computer illiterate. The faculty formulated a plan to remedy this situation by integrating technology across the teacher education curriculum, by not relying on specialized courses, and by finding a leader to implement the change. Software was purchased and a computer lab was dedicated to the program. Some faculty taught themselves about the technology and then volunteered to teach others. The Teacher Education Program also held a computer conference in 1993. Factors critical to the success of the cooperative effort include: (1) identifying a technology leader; (2) having the support of the faculty and administration; (3) using the clout of outside groups such as state agencies which mandate change; and (4) making support of computer use and literacy development part of the organization's mission.
