This project will provide ipods (portable media device) for pre-service teachers (students) to enable them to access otherwise potentially unavailable resources and contribute to online resources and learning communities associated with the development of pedagogical knowledge. Additionally, the expanded pre-service teacher’s access (with the ipod) will afford them the opportunity to experience and develop resources in locations other than the classroom and on-campus. The pre-service teachers will gain hands-on experience in how to construct knowledge representations, amass instructional resources for their students, and differentiate instruction. The ipods will further allow pre-service teacher educators to understand how to deliver and augment instruction in a more flexible, dynamic, and active manner – a valuable future skill. |
