The Technology Collaboratives (TechCo) The Technology Collaboratives (TechCo) for Simultaneous Renewal in Teacher Education project, based in the theory of simultaneous renewal, has created both a model and materials for comprehensive integration of technology into a teacher education program. The project recognizes the challenge of helping inservice and preservice teachers and faculty members define and implement technology applications that will expand and enhance curriculum in teacher education and in K-12 schools. Based in a teacher education program that is known for its work in integrating technology in teacher education, the program models truly comprehensive uses of technology to facilitate teacher education renewal. Through mentoring programs, multifaceted professional development strategies, and sharing resources and expertise in a community of learners, the program is creating a sustainable technology-rich teacher education program.
