“Gotta Love Technology!”: Pre-Service Teachers’ Transformation in a Blended Online Multicultural Literature Course
Abstract
As universities move more and more classes online to accommodate a growing online-centered learning environment, the researchers as instructors want to be sure that they still adhere to good teaching and learning strategies and that their pre-service teachers not miss out or lose the richness associated with lively and meaningful book discussions. This article examines how the researchers integrated Glogster, an online interactive poster creation website with social networking aspects, in a blended (online and face-to-face) multicultural literature course to augment book discussions. Upon analysis of personal reflections and the class’ online forum discussions, the researchers identified three major themes that captured how these pre-service teachers responded to, and, in some cases, were transformed by the reader-response transaction of creating a “glog.” These themes were responses to new technology, reading new ideas and critical reading.
