Abstract: This research is part two of a larger project that seeks to examine technology tools that support preservice teachers in considering their own cultural background, the diversity represented in classrooms, and their beliefs concerning efficacy as teachers in supporting student learning in diverse classrooms. Perservice teachers in their initial foundations course and in their initial placements in early childhood settings are participants in the study. In addition to Moodle, Voice Thread is used as a scaffolding tool based on findings from part one that revealed the preservice teachers’ need for additional opportunities to review curriculum and instructional strategies, to dialog about observations, and to analyze their patterns of thinking. Pre and post survey data and reflection journals serve as data sources in this research study.
