This article has examined the case of one particular learning activity and the design, development and implementation of that activity to address the particular needs of pre-service teachers in one teacher education programme in New Zealand. The authors considered three core principles which adopted in the design of the docudrama activity: (a) to provide pre-service teachers with an experience of educational technology as an integral part of the learning; (b) for students to experience an example of what ‘student centred learning’ might look like; and (c) to highlight the value of authentic contexts for learning. Results from the evaluation survey indicate that the design of the docudrama activity contributed to participants’ learning about how educational technologies help support alternatives to traditional teaching and learning practices.
