Abstract

Reports from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) have called attention to existing deficiencies in teacher preparation programs in preparing preservice teachers to use technology effectively in the PreK-12 classrooms. Technology and the New Professional Teacher (NCATE, 1997) reports that preservice teachers should be required to apply technology in their courses and should see faculty model technology use in the classroom. In order for undergraduate students to learn to use technology when they teach, it is vital that university teacher education faculty change the way they prepare teachers to use technology. Within this framework, the InTime (Integrating New Technologies Into the Methods of Education) project is developing online video case studies to be utilized in methods courses that include videos of best practices showing scenarios from PreK-12 classrooms where teachers are integrating technology in a robust educational environment. These video scenarios will help methods faculty and preservice teachers stray in touch with P-12 classrooms, thus breaking down time-worn distinctions between preservice and inservice teaching. This project will provide video scenarios from PreK-12 classrooms across the nation that will be made assessable to anyone at the project website. In addition, the methods faculty and students and PreK-12 teachers will utilize web-based instructional materials and an online discussion forum to foster reflective discussion about the methods of technology integration combined with best learning practices. Methods faculty will also revise their courses to include first-hand observations of technology integration in their partner PreK-12 classrooms.
