Developing an Educational Technology Group for Pre-Service Teachers
Wilson, Jay
Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v5 p137-141 2012
The College of Education Technology Group is a pilot program that supports teacher candidates in developing an understanding of the integration of technology. By engaging teacher candidates with local schools the program is enhancing technology-based learning in the classroom for high school students, especially those from First Nations and other cultural backgrounds. This innovative program is based on the key goals of the College of Education and the Learning Charter of the University of Saskatchewan. This paper will share an overview of the first two years of the pilot and what has been learned about the application of technology to provide an enhanced learning experience for teacher candidates.
