In the article written by Rachel Vannatta and Nancy Fordham it looks at a study that examines various teacher dispositions that predict technology use among k-12. Such as teacher self-efficacy, philosophy, openness to change, amount of professional development, and of technology use in the classroom. Overall the article was rather dry.

    Usually reaearch reads "dry". However, this article is rich with findings, in particular, the notion of ongoing and sustained "relevant" professional development, or the use of technology in the classroom will be hindedred.
