Revisiting Teacher Preparation: Responding to Technology Transience in the Educational Setting
Muilenburg, Lin Y.; Berge, Zane L.
Quarterly Review of Distance Education, v16 n2 p93-105 2015
People in society have managed to survive and, often, thrive in a world characterized by ever-increasing technological change. Yet technological transience causes or at least exacerbates challenges faced by teachers and teacher education programs when using technology for educational purposes. This article presents frameworks used to assist in the development of effective technology-based instruction, including instruction developed in a highly technologically transient setting. The article then explores strategies teacher educators may use to help shift the mindset, resources, and approaches surrounding technology-based instruction to better help preservice teachers effectively manage and integrate technology into their teaching.
