Then, we briefly summarize two small studies that contrasted technology-enhanced practice with more traditional practice activities to support preservice teachers' learning specifically progress monitoring and in teaching essential beginning ready. Last, we discuss how teacher preparation programs may better meet performance-based professional standards through relatively simple integration of web-based technology in course activities designed to improve preservice teachers' knowledge and skills.
