Reviews & Statements

This book offers professional teacher educators a rare opportunity to harvest the thinking of pioneering colleagues spanning dozens of universities, and to benefit from the creativity, scholarship, hard work, and reflection that led them to the models they describe. Teacher educators are, indeed, fortunate to have this opportunity to make informed decisions that will transform teacher education at this important moment in the history of education.

– Kyle L. Peck, Associate Dean for Outreach, Technology, and International Programs and Professor of Education at Penn State University, USA

The book addresses frameworks for technology integration, integration of Web 2.0 tools into teacher education programs, integration of technology into teacher education courses, technology integration across the content areas, technology-rich clinical and student teaching experiences, and supporting faculty in technology-rich teacher education programs. Written for use by a seasoned teacher educator or one just beginning, one who is well-versed in technology and Web 2.0 or one who has never used a computer, these chapters will educate, inspire, and encourage other teacher education professionals to incorporate technology and to support their learners and colleagues in the integration of technology into all classrooms, at all levels of education and in all curriculum areas and other areas throughout the school setting
