Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (2017) has called for teacher certification programs to devise methods that address a technology integration curriculum in a program-deep, program-wide manner. The challenge, then, becomes determining what technology knowledge and skills all teacher educators would need in order to design high-quality technology experiences for teacher candidates in their courses. The purpose of this project is to identify key challenges to the effective integration of technology in teacher education and provide some suggestions to move toward effective integration into teacher education courses.
