Descriptive Indicators of Future Teachers’ Technology Integration in the PK-1...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
This research examined preservice teacher graduates' positioning toward integrating technology in future teaching. Participants included 115 preservice teachers across three cohorts in 2008-2009 who graduated from a laptop-infused teacher education program. The study implemented a case study methodology that included a survey administered upon graduation.Indicators of positioning toward technology integration included: digital technology self-efficacy, attitude toward learning technologies, pedagogical perspective, personal/educational digital technology behaviors during the program, and TPACK knowledge used to rationalize their most valued technologies for future teaching. Results indicated graduates held moderate digital technology self-efficacy, positive attitude toward learning technologies,and moderate constructivist philosophy. During their preparation,productivity software activities were used most widely for educational purposes.Their most valued technologies for teaching subject matter were predominantly productivity software as well as general hardware, such as computers, projectors, and document cameras. They described teacher-centric uses three times more often than student-centered. Graduates showed low depth of TPACK. Teacher education programs need to consider the degree to which their candidates are exposed to a range of contemporary ICTs, especially content-specific ICTs, and the candidates' development of TPACK, which supports future technology-related instructional decision making. Such knowledge is developed across the teaching career, and technological induction programs may support continued TPACK development.Future research should employ longitudinal studies to understand TPACK development and use across novice and veteran teachers.

Despite the literature supporting technology use in schools as ben.docxbradburgess22840
Despite the literature supporting technology use in schools as beneficial for students, and despite the wide use of social technology, schools continue to be slow to change its integration in the classroom (Livingstone, 2012). It is imperative that teachers increase their use of technology in the classroom in order to prepare our K-12 students referred to as "digital natives," for the 21st century. Though many schools have technology available for use (Alger & Kopcha, 2008), barriers exist in incorporating technology into lesson plans, namely teacher reluctance (Keengwe, Onchwari, & Wachira, 2008). Teachers' hesitation in using technology more frequently is due to a number of factors, such as lack of time to learn new technology and incorporate it into lesson plans, beliefs around using technology in instruction, availability of working technology and technical support, comprehensive professional development, and a culture that promotes using new technology, self-efficacy, and teaching methods (Alger & Kopcha, 2008).
Literature Review
Self-Efficacy toward Technology
According to Bandura (1986) individuals possess a self-system that determines how much effort people will expend on any activity. Bandura also asserts that self-efficacy beliefs may be a strong predictor of related performance. Studies have shown a positive correlation between self-efficacy in technology and technology ability (Anderson & Maninger, 2007; Anderson, Grouulx, & Maninger, 2011). According to the technology acceptance model introduced by Davis (1989), there is a correlation between users' perceived ease of use and predicted adoption of technology. In his study investigating Moodles, Yeou (2016) found self-efficacy to be a critical factor in undergraduates' use of the technology tool. In a similar study investigating pre-service teachers, Albion (2001) found that self-efficacy was the most significant factor in predicting technology use. Pre-service and in-service teachers who possess high self-efficacy in regard to technology are more apt to use technology in the classroom because they are more confident in their ability. In their study investigating teachers' use of technology, Holden and Rada (2011) found that self-efficacy directly influenced individuals' ease of use and usability of technology.
Need for Technology Integration
With the adoption of the National Education Technology Plan (NETP), providing access to technology is no longer sufficient; the NETP stresses that schools are expected to ensure "all students understand how to use technologies as a tool to engage in creative, productive, lifelong learning" (p. 16 Herold, 2016). A key element in the plan is the need to move from passive to active use of technology. Often referred to as the "digital use and divide," a gap exists between learners who are using technology in active, creative ways to support their learning and those who predominantly use technology for passive content consumption.

Question 1: The overall merit of the selected technologies over the ones mentioned in the assignment 1
The integration of the instructional technologies within a classroom setup has the potency of transforming the current/ existing/ modern form of education and institutional learning for students (Kilgo et al., 2015). Nevertheless, the emerging technologies on classroom setup have a massive impact during the implementation. As such, it is predictable that future technologies will offer a considerable benefit to all the stakeholders in the learning system. Furthermore, certain varieties of resources can be instituted in the school curriculum to demonstrate the importance of technology to children’s education. Agreeing with Duque (2014), the technology will always have some significant impact on in student learning as it allows the educator to enhance their lesson. Besides, the developing technologies within the education system help learners advance their technology skills, i.e., digital media literacy. Hence, learners will deploy the theoretical frameworks needed for authentic learning, as well as use technology as a cognitive learning tool (Duque, 2014).
Question 2: The similarity and differences between the chosen emerging technologies and the none-chosen emerging technologies addressing:
a.) Addressing the needs and challenges inherent in the educational setting or relating to the scenario in the assignment 1
In the task one, some of the learning technologies mentioned include the digital booklets, the whiteboards, and use of Smart gadgets. These technologies vis-à-vis use of laptops, tablets, the PowerPoint are some of the other mentionable emerging technologies in the education sector. All these features consist of instructional learning tools for any classroom setup. Also, these technologies have a massive impact on the child classroom learning process as they can access different apps and resources. Also, teachers can make use of such technologies to include instructional learning and in improving the student digital media literacy (Pruet et al., 2016). Also, these technologies are flexible enabling students to adapt to new learning.
However, these technologies may not yield positive learning outcome where the educators lack proper skills in using such technologies in the classroom setup. Also, technical problem with setting up the technology may negatively impact its use (Pruet et al., 2016). As such, teachers must be well prepared and given enough time to incorporate such new technologies to appropriately support the learning environment. Such prospect of preparing and collaborating technologies may be time wasting and may involve a lot of technicalities and risks, e.g., software risks, outages, etc.
b.) Important.
An increasing number of educational institutions in the UAE offer or plan to start using web-based mode of course delivery. According to Haughey and Anderson (1998), all types of education are affected as technology is used to enhance and deliver courses online. There are several colleges and universities in the UAE that are considering incorporating online education to support the traditional face-to-face classes in addition to offering courses as distance learning.
This presentation outlines the purpose and benefits of online instruction while describing the target audience, required technology, resources, staffing, and necessary curriculum development and quality assurance program to support the delivery of education online.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
