Hi Karen,
RE>>>: "... articles. books etc that would support the idea that teachers should be given money and time to learn the new technologies and build lessons using that technology."
Perhaps see the Professional Development Continuum Project Web Site
(http://www.milkenexchange.org/pdc/index.html ), part of the Milken Exchange on Education Technology.
"The recent rush to wire and connect American's schools and provide multimedia computers for classrooms across the land reinforces the need for professional development in the use of educational technology. President Clinton has identified training and support for teachers as one of the four national goals for educational technology. ..."
The site includes links to a large number of prof development links, which may provide the evidence you are looking for.
Cheers,
David McMahon
