good lab procedure and good data’’. His experiences
in student teaching also showed him things
that he needed to change about his teaching with
technology. He recognized that he did not ‘‘always
give enough wait time to let students figure things
out on their own’’. He requested that his supervisor
and cooperating teachers collect data about
his wait time so that he could improve in this area.
Terry was fortunate to have a cooperating teacher
who had an in-depth knowledge of technology as
well as developed pedagogical strategies for
incorporating technology to enhance learning.
They usually worked as a team in designing the
lessons and preparing the equipment. As the term
progressed, Terry took more and more of the lead.
