Project Tomorrow, a non-profit known for its Speak Up National Research Project, and Blackboard have collaborated on a new report related to pre-service teacher education. Entitled “Learning in the 21st Century: Digital Experiences and Expectations of Tomorrow’s Teachers, this document offers key findings that should guide teacher preparation programs. As noted on the Project Tomorrow web site, “Tomorrow’s teachers may have the keys to finally unlock the potential of technology to transform teaching and learning, but much depends upon their experiences in their preparation program and how well future school leadership can support their expectations for essential technology tools and resources.” Future teachers want to use technology effectively in classrooms, and need experience and guidance as undergraduates in order to do so.
