Abstract
The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first present educational design research (EDR) as a viable approach to studying and introducing technological innovations to teacher education. We then offer two cases of EDR in teacher education that operationalize key qualities of EDR in practice. The first case is focused on improving science education using iPads to promote an inquiry-based approach to learning. The second is based on a technology-driven cognitive apprenticeship to support the clinical experience. Each case presents research results that report the impacts of technology on teacher learning and performance over multiple iterations. Implications for and the role of EDR in studies of technology in teacher education are discussed.
