Tempe, Arizona 85287-0111
Dr. Gary Bitter has been the principal investigator for numerous grants. Two of these projects Math-ed-olgy and Understanding Teaching provide online professional development to enable preservice and inservice teachers to integrate into their future mathematics instruction the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) content and professional teaching standards with a special emphasis on discourse. The lessons include full-motion video of actual instructional classroom teaching, taken in elementary classrooms that exemplify the NCTM Curriculum and Professional Teaching Standards. Dr. Bitter is a past president of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and served on the NCATE Technology Task Force releasing the report, "Technology and the New Professional Teacher: Preparing for the 21st Century Classroom." Dr. Bitter has also served as Co-Principal Investigator for the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) Project. The NETS Project has developed educational technology standards and performance indicators for Prek-12 students with examples of how those standards are integrated with content instruction; developed a resource book of lessons and multidisciplinary units connecting the lesson activities to both content and NETS standards. Dr. Bitter is presently on the leadership team for the ISTE Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology Grant as well as Principal Investigator of a FIPSE Learning Anytime Anywhere Grant.
