Abstract

In teacher education programs, candidates are increasingly required to understand and utilize multiple forms of information technology in their own teaching and learning. Active participation in authentic technology experiences is central to this process of promoting deep thinking about teaching and learning. Podumentaries, podcasts, digital stories, and electronic portfolios serve as four key elements of a comprehensive information technology curriculum within a teacher education program. Integrating these experiences into specific courses provides authentic opportunities to use technological tools in meaningful ways. This approach also connects specific course content in ways that enhance teaching and learning strategies not only in the higher education community, but also as teaching candidates work in P-12 classrooms.
