Abstract
Abstract: It is important to investigate how future teacher education candidates are experiencing the transition from the NETS-S to the NETS-T. In other words, are technology skills being nurtured in our nation's high schools that prepare teacher candidates to transition into fulfilling the NETS-T? Have these high school students been provided with challenging work in their K-12 classroom that integrated various technologies? Have they participated in K-12 classrooms that model technology integration? Have they been expected to use various technology skills and tools in their own learning? The answers to these questions can assist institutions of higher education, as they design programs that provide a smooth transition for those moving from the role of student into the role of teacher. The following paragraphs describe one college's attempt at assessing beginning teacher candidates' readiness for the NETS-T, and the relationship of this readiness to the teacher candidates' high school experiences with technology.
