This study aimed to identify and analyze the preservice technology training experiences of novice teachers. Furthermore, the author examined novice teachers’ perceptions of how well their teacher preparation program equipped them with the knowledge and skills necessary to fulfill the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS•T). Three major themes regarding the Essential Conditions became evident: (a) a disconnect between preservice teachers’ technology training and other aspects of their professional education, (b) a lack of content-area relevance, and c) inadequate retention and transfer.
