Despite increased availability and support for computers, relatively few teachers have integrated them into their teaching. This paper summarizes four studies that studies were conducted, two with independent groups of practicing teachers and two conducted longitudinally with a single group, first when they were preservice undergraduate teachers,…

This paper reports results of a longitudinal study of faculty (n=85) at three undergraduate institutions in North Dakota that adopted notebook computers for their faculty and students--Valley City State University, Mayville State University, and Jamestown College. Questions examined included the variables that might predict computer use by faculty…
