Abstract

This paper addresses the concerns about Technology Applications in Education, a course designed for pre-service teachers at College of Education of a Midwestern university. These include students?vast differences in terms of learning styles, technology skill levels, learning interests, and learning motivations. Due to these diversities, classroom instruction and course project evaluation become a challenge. To narrow down their gaps and to maximize their learning outcomes, the course instructors design a hybrid curriculum including detailed and hands-on instructions, Blackboard discussion and external links for tutorials, allowing for time to design projects and construct teaching materials pertinent to their content areas, project sharing and commenting, detailed rubrics for project design, quizzes, and a NETS•T standards-based e-portfolio for their reflections. All these endeavors are geared to achieving a sound understanding of technology integration into their future teaching.
