Abstract
Quality professional development for technology integration is especially needed. Online delivery methods offer much promise for anytime, anywhere teacher learning. Evaluation tools and methods can help designers of technology integration TPD sites meet their goals of providing quality learning opportunities for teachers. We developed and implemented a plan to evaluate issues of quality and quantity in web-based TPD sites. We will present these methods and illustrate their application to a technology TPD site called Ed-U-Tech.
