The data in this chart is taken from the templates submitted by the first cohort of M.Ed. students to use the template. It demonstrates the type of evidence they used to document whether or not they were able to meet a profile set by ISTE. The focus for research for the next cohort will be one of qualitative study on the narrative portions of the template and how they connect their evidence to their narrative.

The data in this table illustrates the students' self-evaluation on issues of competence regarding the use of technology. Students choose three technology skills/applications in which they feel they need more help and three technology skills/applications with which they feel most comfortable.

The data in this table represents the technologies they are most likely to use in the classroom (self-reported). Students were asked to rank order the items with a ranking of 1 as most-likely. This is the combined ranking of 20 students from the first cohort to take the technology teaching lab courses and to use the template.
