Abstract
This study identified computer competencies important for teachers. A Delphi panel developed a survey instrument of 67 computer competencies. Fifteen of these competencies related to networks, the Internet, and e-mail. Survey responses came from 437 technology coordinators, teacher educators, and secondary teachers. The most important computer competencies dealt with integration of computers into curricula and using computers in instruction. The use of networks and the Internet for research and the use of e-mail were rated important, but ranked 22nd and 23rd in the list of 33 competencies that were rated Important or Very Important.Keywords
