II.A.1. Logical, comprehensive, and connected technology experience extended throughout PUMA program. II.A. Pre-test of technology proficiency; Student questionnaires; Course syllabi; Course and workshop materials; Computer lab schedule; Reports from Technology Fellows; Archived E-mail and listserv correspondence among community members
II.A.1.b. Pre-PUMA students will use technology within methods courses and will additionally participate in a one-hour weekly computer lab workshop to reinforce technology-related strategies presented in methods courses.
II.A.1.c. Phase I PUMA students will participate in an intensive 15-hour technology workshop, during a 2-week period prior to field placements, to develop observational strategies for viewing classroom technology uses.
II.A.1.d. Phase I PUMA students will be placed in classrooms with identified technology mentors or will be mentored by others in district.
II.A.1.e. Phase II Puma student teachers will participate in beginning of the semester technology workshops, site-based workshops, and online collaborative experiences through their learning communities. 
II.B. Students will have comprehensive and coordinated opportunities to develop standards-based technology proficiency II.B.1. Students will demonstrate basic technology proficiency prior to entering the PUMA program. II.B.1.a. Basic technology proficiencies will be developed and set as prerequisite for PUMA admission.
