Abstract: The use of social networking tools provides opportunities to foster meaningful, interactive discussion, ongoing accessibility, and authentic real-time reflection during field and classroom experiences. These tools require teacher candidates and their professors to not just understand the technology, but to also understand the distinct pedagogical implications of these technologies and implementation strategies that are needed for meaningful usage. These technologies can and must prepare our candidates for life as a 21st Century teacher in a "flat world." To understand this new context, teacher candidates need exposure, training, and practical application of 21st Century methodologies with the hope that candidates will in turn provide progressive, authentic socially mediated experiences that allow their students to understand content in meaningful ways.
