Abstract
As teacher preparation programs seek to diversify their pre-service teachers' exposure to teaching situations, Mount Vernon Nazarene University's Education Department has discovered how to maximize its freshman's educational technology field experiences through meaningful cross-cultural community service. A plan has been implemented since the spring of 2004 where candidates taking educational technology classes are required to give 8 hours of technology tutoring as a community service to populations in cross-cultural situations. Based on the Spring 2004 successes, the cross-cultural tutoring opportunities have been expanded, leading to renewed vision in candidates' perspectives on education and job placements. At a freshman level, this challenge sets the tone for further diverse field exposure. This study will look at the multiple positive outcomes that result from a model that uses technology tutoring as the pre-service candidates' first exposure to a cross-cultural instructional environment.
