Abstract

: If doctors can be trained by virtual surgery, pilots trained by virtual flight simulators and military trained by virtual maneuver training, then could teachers be trained through digital field placements? The demand for teachers who can teach via alternative methods, i.e. through video teleconferencing or online, is increasing. With the need for highly qualified teachers, it is important that teacher candidates be exposed to alternative delivery methods as they could possibly be called upon to use alternative delivery methods at some point in their teaching career. Data from the candidates’ experiences will be presented reflecting the value and feasibility of digital field experiences in teacher preparation programs.
