DESCRIPTION:This research project explores the professional identities of 
 selected pedagogical technologists in schools. In particular\, it investig
 ates the qualities of and the interplay between people and their work cont
 ext in negotiating and recognizing a pedagogical technologist’s professi
 onal identities.  \n\nA pedagogical technologist is a person who helps tea
 chers and other stakeholders in a school to use technology to best support
  student learning. A pedagogical technologist is neither a teacher in a tr
 aditional sense\, nor a technician. Most schools do not employ a pedagogic
 al technologist. Employing a pedagogical technologist may represent a shif
 t in a school’s awareness of technology in its teaching and learning.\n\
 nIn examining the pedagogical technologist\, the paper employs a qualitati
 ve\, multiple-case study research strategy with the pedagogical technologi
 st being the case unit of analysis.  Three cases of pedagogical technologi
 sts in international schools in Hong Kong and Singapore are compiled. The 
 study develops professional identity theoretical propositions on which int
 erview\nquestions and an analytical framework are based. Data are collecte
 d by interviews with pedagogical technologists and instrumental school sta
 keholders. The research project delivers critical incidents of professiona
 l identity negotiation\, practical knowledge of what pedagogical technolog
 ists do and recommendations for appropriate work context support for pedag
 ogical technologists.\n
