They will have a vision of roles and impacts of technology in educational environments, have developed a philosophy of technology integration based on theories of learning and experiences in the program, have a deep understanding of how human beings learn. They will also have an awareness of and know how to implement standards for teachers and students, be active participants in self-assessment and personal growth, and have an understanding of the use of technologies and their integration in a culturally, linguistically, and physically diverse learning environment.Many national reports cite the critical need for prospective teachers to have training in technology. Several states have already mandated an undergraduate course in computer education for all teachers. Many school districts in Arizona look for a course in educational technology on the transcript of applicants for teaching positions.
