Both courses are described, and ways in which digital technologies changed the way the instructor and students collaborated, worked and learned are discussed. Service learning aspects of these courses are explored with examples of how pre-and inservice teachers engaged with K- ...

So it is left up to the teacher educator to match learner characteristics, content, pedagogy and technologies. This chapter will concentrate on the use of Web 2.0 technologies in contemporary constructivist and cognitivist learning environments. We will present the characteristics of Web 2.0 tools to support teaching and learning, including low threshold applications, a variety of tools and ...

Increasing numbers ofinstitutions of higher education offer courses using mobilewireless technologies as alternative teaching and learningtools. However, regardless of such interests in mobilewireless technologies in higher education, there is lack ofacademic research on the use of mobile wireless technologiesin the higher education setting. The purpose of this article isto examine current information on mobile wireless technolo-gies and answer three crucial questions such as (a) Whattypes of mobile wireless technologies are currently beingused in higher education? (b) How do mobile wirelesstechnologies access to network resources? (c) What are thebenefits of mobile wireless technologies in higher education?Without understanding of the...

Our all-access pass did help introduce us to the many larger discussions taking place across the organization. We were able to connect with other graduate students and to develop new ties with some of the pillars of the field. We can attest to the fact that AECT actively seeks new ideas, energy and leadership that can strengthen the organization. Our final thought for you is that AECT wants you to be involved. We discovered that the doors are wide open, and we know that you do not need an intern’s medallion to step through those doors. We hope these stories encourage you to step through the doors and find your place within AECT.
