When an additional study [29] was conducted
by researchers at Arizona State University, the
focus of the study was an exploration of the
potential relationship between developing digital
teaching portfolios and any propensity to integrate
technology in the classroom. Using the portfolio
generated by the Intel Teach Pre-Service course as
the evaluand, analysis of data indicated that there
was a positive change in the participants's
perceptions of their technology skill level and their
use of digital portfolios as a learning/assessment
tool in their classrooms. Results also indicated that
the course consisting of graduate students working
on an advanced degree while teaching, also
developed technology skills that they could use in
their classrooms.
