Integrating ICT into NonICT Courses A Modern Computers In Education Course NECC 2005 Louanne Smolin University of Illinois at Chicago Pivotal Work What is This Research Telling Us About Preparing Technology Using Teachers? Paradigm shift: Teaching about technology/Teaching with technology Basic tech skills are important but not sufficient Modeling by those around them A Debate…. Within vs. Separate TC’s do not take the tech they learned in introductory course into methods or field courses (Pope, Hare & Howard, 2002; Ringstaff & Kelly, 2002) Gap between what we teach preservice teachers about technology and what we expect them to do with technology as classroom teachers (Hare & Howard, 2002) Increase in student positive attitude and confidence when tech is infused (Pope, Hare, & Howard, 2002; Abbot and Faus, 2001; Thomas & Cooper, 2000) Preservice teachers develop greater technological fluency from a separate course (Anderson & Borthwick, 2002) Reframe the Debate: What can we learn from each?: Separate Helps students develop technological fluency (Anderson & Borthwick, 2002) and build confidence (Bielefeldt, 2001) Within Can carry skills into authentic situations which is more professionally relevant (Brush, Igoe, et.al, 2001) Press for other indicators of capacity (Bielefeldt, 2001) Using Research to Restructure Program Design Experiences Across Authenticity Relevance Restructuring Efforts: Case Studies Build in design time and opportunities for faculty to share (Thomas and Cooper, 2000) Create clear program expectations (Bullock, 2004, Bielefeldt, 1999) Both university faculty and mentor teachers exert influence (Bullock, 2004) UIC Coursework Technology Content CPS Field Experience Reference: Hart, H.; Allensworth, E.; Lauen, D.; & Gladden, R.
