Abstract

Nationwide there is a growing consensus among educators and the public that we need to seriously examine our curriculum in teacher education. The question most often asked is, “Are we preparing our education majors for tomorrow’s changing world, and how should we accomplish this?” Among all of the proposed changes, teaching with technology is one of the major components we should consider.The information explosion has changed the nature of knowing from the ability to recall information to the ability to define problems, to retrieve information selectively and to solve problems flexibly, which therefore changes the nature of learning from the need to master topics in class to the need to learn autonomously. Learners need to learn how to revise their ideas and select information, and to synthesize it from the vast pools of resources.
