Creating a Personal Technology Improvement Plan for Teachers of the Gifted

Kevin Besnoy

There is a high incidence of today’s gifted students independently interacting with their global community through technology tools. Teachers of the gifted (GT teachers) must possess an understanding of technology processes and concepts in order to engage their students through instructionally meaningful and appropriate lessons (Bybee & Loucks-Horsley, 2000). Although many educators would like to use technology tools as an instructional medium, two obstacles prevent GT teachers from integrating technology into the curriculum: access to resources and continuous professional development.
