Abstract: Research on the use of media like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in the classroom shows evidence that immersive technology holds a huge potential for K-12 education. Accordingly, teachers need respective competencies for using it in their classrooms. This paper presents a curriculum with the objective to foster such competencies in pre-service teacher education regarding the use of these media in schools. The course curriculum for Immersive Teaching and Learning (iTL) focuses the idea that teachers need to combine their technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) in various ways in order to be able to use immersive media in the classroom. The iTL curriculum integrates the functioning of immersive media (Technological Knowledge), their perceptual effects and their motivational, emotional, and cognitive correlates (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge), as well as their potential regarding the presentation of contents (Technological Content Knowledge) and an insight into the creation of own immersive learning experiences (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge).
