For technology to be most effective, teachers have to learn to use it well first. Yet getting professors, and even students, at teacher-training programs on board is often a tough sell, says Punya Mishra, an associate professor of educational technology at Michigan State University, in East Lansing, who has written several papers on the subject.
Mishra says faculty members at his college were initially more than a little wary when he and other colleagues began talking about integrating technology into pedagogy and content.
“They said the teacher education curriculum was already packed, and adding one more thing meant something else had to be taken away,” he recalls. Part of the challenge for him and others working with him, he adds, was to integrate technology into existing courses without taking away current aspects of those courses.

Joel Colbert, who heads the committee on innovation and technology, says the handbook seeks to make the point that stand-alone technology classes are now obsolete.
“We are saying that’s not the way to integrate technology into teacher training, because each subject area uses technology differently,” Colbert says.
