Modeling Technology Integration in Teacher Preparation Programs

Abstract

Teacher preparation programs are expected to prepare teacher candidates to integrate technology with instruction in meaningful ways to support PK-12 student learning (U.S. Department of Education, Office of Technology, 2017).
