As teaching evolves, teacher education must keep up. This book
examines systemic reforms that incorporate new technology to
improve any teacher education program.While there are books that
address the integration of technology into teaching curricula, very
few address the process for teacher education faculty and the
systemic reform of a teacher education program. Integrating
Information Technology into the Teacher Education Curriculum:
Process and Products of Change provides practical examples and
suggestions for teacher education departments striving to integrate
new technologies into their curriculum. It will help in the effort
to motivate faculty to make utilizing new technology a natural
strategy for the teachers they are educating. It describes the
creation of Design Teams at Brigham Young University's McKay School
of Education (funded by a PT3 grant) and how these teams worked to
successfully reconfigure the school's teacher preparation
curricula.Integrating Information Technology into the Teacher
Education Curriculum examines: how to compose and create a
curriculum design team--including both teacher education and
content-specific methods instructors training and collaboration
opportunities that focus on the infusion of technology how to
facilitate alignment among a university, cooperating school
districts, the State Office of Education, and other available
teacher preparation programs specific case examples of the
redevelopment of teacher education courses by the instructors who
teach them the process of changing a technology course required by
the teacher education program the process of extending grant
activities to the university's partner school districts and the
State Office of Education"From the editors: Preparing tomorrow's
teachers to use technology in schools is a complex endeavor
requiring the infusion of technology into curriculum and
instructional practices at all levels of the pre-service program.
In many early teacher education programs, prospective teachers took
a computer literacy class separate from content methods classes and
rarely engaged in real collaboration on how schoolteachers could
integrate technology into authentic learning experiences. By
focusing merely on how to use computers, technology training failed
by not addressing how to teach students more effectively using a
variety of technological tools. What teachers need to know most is
how to teach content more effectively. Technology integration
should cause teachers to develop different perspectives through
rethinking teaching and learning. Teaching with technology causes
teachers to confront their established beliefs about instruction
and their traditional roles as classroom teachers."
