Conclusion
As a teacher educator in this multi-dimensional information age, I must model instructional methods and develop activities in my classrooms which help future teachers understand that technology based instruction is no longer an option. It is a requirement. My instruction must help students rethink their prior classroom knowledge and experience and focus on how they can, now and in the future, teach their students using this new software and methodology and enable them to become literate citizens in a global world.
