Abstract
This case study investigated the practice of an elementary level cooperating teacher as she prepared a student teacher to integrate technology into professional practice. The study was part of a larger research study conducted as part of a PT3 grant involving 21 cooperating teachers and seven student teachers actively involved in the student teaching experience over the course of a semester. Descriptive statistics and qualitative methods were used for data collection. The technology context and conceptual perspectives of the cooperating teacher were examined. Descriptions of technology mentoring practice are presented from both the cooperating teacher and student teacher perspective. Cooperating teacher mentoring practices included one-on-one tutoring with software, modeling technology-integrated lessons, connecting technology use to the curriculum, sharing digital resources and templates, and providing support during technology-integrated lessons.
