Abstract
The implementation of compressed video throughout Wyoming has helped to expand the possibilities and increase electronic “travel” opportunities for University of Wyoming preservice teachers and Wyoming educators. In 1986, a state-wide School/University based partnership began with a mission to collaborate efforts between the College of Education's teacher training program and the public schools. Presented here as a model for restructure and change in American education, the use of compressed video has greatly enhanced the professional development of preservice teachers from The University of Wyoming. Following a brief description of compressed video technology and how this technology was incorporated into the University's teacher training program, the article concludes with a section on “Lessons Learned” from this inaugural implementation of technology.
