Abstract

Given the rapidly changing field of Educational Technology, it is difficult to maintain a course curriculum for very long. In this paper we use data gathered from our own experiences teaching introductory educational technology courses as well as the experiences of our colleagues. Although we are constantly updating and revising our courses, there is evidence that our efforts are falling short due to an overemphasis on "hot" technologies. This article reviews changes being made in college courseware and research related to the skills of entering students. In addition, we suggest an alternative way of addressing technology skills development.
