Here are some interesting themes found in current research:

1. Teacher's beliefs of teaching and student learning affect teacher technology adoption. 2. Teachers who engage in more teacher-led pedagogy adopt less technology. 3. Teachers who leverage constructivist-centric pedagogy have a tendency to use more technology. 4. Teacher's beliefs and values are not hardened systems; however, they are complex and prone to revision. 5. The richness of an enviroment (technology, support, quality, quantity) can change a teacher's beliefs and values in learners and pedagogy. 6. The manner in which technology is presented (teacher-centered or student-centered) impacts those teachers holding differing views. 7. Web 2.0 and 21st century skills are collaborative in nature; thus they are constructivist.
