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.
