Abstract

This paper describes the evolution of an educational technology course for preservice teachers from an applications-based curriculum to a new framework that draws on the structure of the ISTE recommended foundations in technology for all teachers and expands upon the substance of the standards to meet the challenges of increasingly rapid technological innovation. The curriculum for this course was divided into the three main categories within the foundations: a) basic computer/technology operations and concepts, b) personal and professional use of technology, and c) application of technology in instruction. Connecting standards and curricular activities remains a creative and interpretive process and students were expected to produce projects that were authentic, meaningful, and intended for future student and professional use. All course activities were integrated within each of these conceptual sections thereby making explicit and modeling best practices in technology integration that many teacher candidates have never experienced as K-12 students.
