It is significant for pre-service teachers to gain 21st century teaching skills. Many pre-service students may not have had a hands-on classroom experience to which they can relate and upon which they can draw when constructing new knowledge, especially when their understanding needs to be applied while learning (NRC, 2000). Join this session to learn how various instructional strategies and technologies can be integrated to engage pre-service students in an online environment.
