Abstract
Anchored instruction has been shown to be an effective approach in training preservice teachers to integrate technology in their teaching (Bauer, Ellefsen & Hall, 1994; Bauer & Westhoff, 1993). Researchers have found that incorporating anchored instruction helps preservice teacher education students to construct technology projects that integrate a wide variety of content disciplines such as math, science, geography, and reading, while avoiding the problem of inert, discreet training that has little or no apparent connection to daily teaching activities. Anchored instruction emphasizes the formulation of a rich, problem solving environment around which learning takes place (The Cognition and Technology Group at Vanderbilt, 1990). Several key decision points help shape the experience (Bauer, Ellefsen, & Hall, 1994; McClarty, Goodman, Risko, Kinzer, Vye, Rowe, & Carson, 1990).
