Abstract

Teacher education programs face several challenges when it comes to preparing classroom teachers to be successful in the integration of technology in their instructional practices to support teaching and learning. These challenges include technology self-efficacy, technology proficiency, and the rapidly changing technology tools that are available. There is a need to replace current instructional practices that focus on current technologies with processes that teach candidates to be future thinkers, to imagine the classroom of tomorrow, to develop an inquisitive mindset, and to have the resilience to experiment with technologies that may have not even been developed yet. Identifying the processes that could address these challenges is the focus of this chapter.
