Teaching to Teach (With) Game Design: Game Design and Learning Workshops for Preservice Teachers
Authors: Akcaoglu Mete, Kale Ugur
In this study, the authors were interested to evaluate the participants’ ability to integrate game design in their lesson plans and explore their experiences over time during the workshops. The findings revealed that the participants’ lesson planscan be improved in terms of allowing students to take ownership during the game creation, design, and problem-solving processes. Instead of giving students freedom and agency, the lesson plans did not allow high levels of collaboration and exploration.The analysis of the reflections helped the authors describe participants’ varied experiences and identify challenges faced during the Game Design and Learning (GDL) workshops. At the end of the workshops, all participants indicated that they developed a basic understanding of game design and programming and felt comfortable with the process.

Enabling Collaboration and Video Assessment: Exposing Trends in Science Preservice Teachers’ Assessments
Authors: Borowczak Mike, Burrows Andrea
In this paper, the authors describe a new, free resource for continuous video assessment named YouDemo. This tool enables real time rating of uploaded YouTube videos for use in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and beyond. The authors discuss the discrepancies between preservice science teachers’ assessments of self- and peer-created videos using the tool. The findings reveal that preservice teachers, who used the YouDemo, engaged in reflection and discussion on a deeper level than traditional means of pedagogical skill building in the classroom. Furthermore, preservice teachers perceived continuous video rating beneficial in enabling video assessment, promoting critical thinking, and increasing engagement the authors found that based on the discrepancies we found in peer and self-evaluations.

Preservice Teachers’ TPACK Beliefs and Attitudes toward Simulations
Authors: Lehtinen A., Nieminen P., Viiri Jouni
The purpose of this study was two-fold. Firstly, it examined how preservice primary teachers develop self-assessed technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) in science through an intervention in which they were acquainted with using simulations in science teaching. Secondly, it studied the possible connection of preservice teachers’ beliefs measured through their self-assessed knowledge in the different domains of the TPACK framework with their attitudes toward simulations. The results indicate that the introduction to simulations in science had a medium to large effect on the preservice teachers’ beliefs in the content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK) and TPACK domains of the TPACK framework. Preservice teachers’ belief in their technological knowledge (TK) correlated with their views on the usefulness of simulations in science teaching.

Teacher Self-Efficacy in 1:1 iPad Integration in Middle School Science and Math Classrooms
Authors: Minshew Lana, Anderson Janice
Using a technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) framework, this article examines the classroom practice of two middle grades mathematics and science teachers integrating a 1:1 initiative and the ways they dealt with the barriers in their classroom practices. This study suggests that some science and math teachers, despite working in a 1:1 environment, still face many both external and internal barriers when trying to integrate technology into their pedagogical design and practice. The key will be to help those teachers, through content specific professional development and scaffolding, to recognize the power that these tools provide. Given the right supports, the iPads can be used as a way for teachers to engage students in science learning.

Reimagining Understandings of Literacy in Teacher Preparation Programs Using Digital Literacy Autobiographies
Authors: McTavish Marianne, Filipenko Margot
This paper examines preservice teachers' understandings and beliefs about literacy in the 21st century specifically at the beginning of their teacher education program. In particular, the authors explored preservice teachers' responses to the first assignment of their foundations literacy course for evidence of their emerging beliefs and understandings of literacy and literacy development. They found preservice teachers' definitions of literacy in the 21st century are complex and multifaceted, and inclusive sharing techniques helped them become aware of diverse literacy backgrounds and skills.

Digital Participatory Pedagogy: Digital Participation as a Method for Technology Integration in Curriculum
Authors: Dooley McMunn Caitlin, Ellison Tisha Lewis, Welch Meghan M., Allen Mindy, Bauer Dennis
This participatory action research demonstrates how teachers' technological pedagogical knowledge might combine with a participatory stance to encourage students to design and carry out content-focused projects. Findings indicate that teachers struggle with how to assess new literacies, especially participatory digital literacies that engage learners in collaborative and innovative ways.

Preparing Teachers to Integrate Technology Into K–12 Instruction: Comparing a Stand-Alone Technology Course With a Technology-Infused Approach
Authors: Buss Ray R., Wetzel Keith, Foulger Teresa S., Lindsey LeeAnn
In this article, the authors compared the effectiveness of learning technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) domain knowledge in a new technology-infused approach for teaching technology to teacher candidates with a more traditional, stand-alone course. In the new approach, learning to use technology is infused into program methods courses. Candidates all improved their TPACK domain scores.

Instructors' Growth in TPACK: Teaching Technology-Infused Methods Courses to Preservice Teachers
Authors: Foulger Teresa S., Buss Ray R., Wetzel Keith, Lindsey LeeAnn
Using a qualitative approach, the authors documented experiences of teacher educators who were content experts and were asked to teach a tech-infused course. The authors found evidence that small changes in their practice were creating larger consequences within their college; it appears the author's professional development model is creating a positive cultural shift.
