With the increased availability of technology in today’s schools, concerns arise over whether teachers are effectively incorporating technology tools into their instruction in order to advance student learning and engagement. This project was designed to examine the types of educational technology practices that kindergarten and elementary teachers in Denver, Colorado, USA, implement in their classrooms and their beliefs concerning the implementation of educational technology in their classrooms.Teacher participants were interviewed to evaluate the types of technology they utilize in their lessons and their beliefs concerning the implementation of technology. The researcher found that teacher participants integrate a variety of technology into their classrooms. The results also showed that the participants are committed to utilize technology because they strongly believe that it benefits students. However, the results showed that there is a distinct difference concerning how technology is utilized in the classroom among the participants. Keywords: teachers’ beliefs, technology use, kindergarten and elementary students

Situated in a theoretical foundations of educational technology course, this study explored how practicing teachers who had not previously taken any formal learning theories courses connected theories with the use of technology. It examined the mindset of teachers after their learning and exposure to learning theories and relevant school of thoughts for a sustained period of time. Results show that teachers showed an appreciation for theories and an awareness for the need of theories in guiding technology use. Teachers also connected theories with technology use. The learning of theories equipped teachers with theoretical guidance and justifications for the use of technology. The participating teachers were also able to evaluate pedagogical approaches toward the use of technology based on their learning. The study addressed the importance of theoretical understanding towards the use of technology and has implications for policies and practice regarding teacher education and professional development regarding the use of educational technology.

This paper is an assessment of parental responsibilities in relation to supporting integration of technology in the context of out-of-school time (OST) learning. The assessment involved 78 parents from Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Mwanza regions in Tanzania. The aim was to discover the practices among parents in supporting their children to use educational technology in the home context. Criterion sampling applied and 11 best schools were picked from 11 divisions based on the 2015 NECTA Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results. It is shown that parents have the potential to support the use of educational technology among children through procurement of educational technology, guiding material on the use of educational technology and giving instructions on the use of educational technology. Parents can also guide pupils on best to write summaries of key concepts, and also give questions on learned concepts. Moreover, parents are also potential for identifying useful programmes for use with educational technology thereby making children use technology for educational pursuits and avoid technology abuse and thus enhance their academic performance. The findings suggest the need for the schools to cooperate with parents and communities with a view to fostering the parental roles in the utilization of educational technology for OST learning. Further studies on how to improve the parental support towards the educational technology use by OST learners is inevitable in this digital world.
