Which Came First - The Technology or the Pedagogy? - Dian Schaffhauser, THE Journal
Why is a generation of teachers more knowledgeable about technology than any before it arriving in classrooms with little understanding of how to teach with it? It's a debate that, according to Ann Thompson, director of Iowa State University's Center for Technology in Learning and Teaching, has K-12 and higher ed engaged in mutual finger-pointing. "School districts say, 'If colleges of education just better prepared new teachers in technology, we'd be all set, but they're not doing their job,'" Thompson says. "Colleges of education say, 'We're doing a great job, but then students go out into schools and they don't have access to technology or don't see other teachers using technology, so some of this prep goes to waste.'"
