  Instead of teaching technology as a separate course, more colleges training preservice teachers are integrating technology in content areas like math and science.

  • the standards require teacher-candidates to exhibit knowledge, skills, and dispositions that equip them to teach technology applications. Candidates also have to show they can use technology to support student learning of content.

  • Joel Colbert, who heads the committee on innovation and technology, says the handbook seeks to make the point that stand-alone technology classes are now obsolete.

     

    “We are saying that’s not the way to integrate technology into teacher training, because each subject area uses technology differently,” Colbert says.

  • infusing technology into subjects like math and science makes it easier for students—both college students training to become teachers, and children in K-12 schools—to absorb and retain what they have learned, as in the egg-in-the-bottle experiment.
  • “Colleges of teacher education required more skill-based classes in technology: word processing, spreadsheet, and database classes that focused more on productivity,” says Thomas Brush, an associate professor of instructional technology at Indiana University, Bloomington. “What you are seeing more of now in schools and colleges of education is a desire to integrate technology in the methodology portion and coursework.”
  • “We work all the time with our science-methods faculty and math-methods faculty to look at new technological innovations,” Brush says. He points to such gadgets as the Geometer’s Sketchpad, a software program that allows students to build and investigate mathematical models, objects, figures, diagrams, and graphs, which he introduces to his teacher education students.
  • The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which accredits more than half the 1,200 teacher-preparation programs in the nation, has worked with the International Society for Technology in Education to come up with a set of technology standards that colleges seeking its imprimatur have to meet.
