Abstract

To positively foster teacher knowledge, skills and beliefs regarding technology integration, a teacher preparation program at a university in New Jersey, USA carried out the process of revising a face-to-face technology skill based course into a fully online one in which the focus changed to “teaching with technology.” This chapter provides a detailed account of how the course was revised, and describes the challenges the authors faced. The solutions that came to the fore during this process are also provided. The chapter concludes with recommendations for other teacher educators who might be offering online educational technology courses to candidates of a similar population.
