This article presents a technology integration model designed to assist pre-service teachers to learn meaningful uses of technology in K-12 classrooms.
Based on studies in teacher education, learning theory, and technology integration, the authors define five essential characteristics necessary for pre-service teacher education:
(a) providing concrete experience,
(b) promoting reflection,
(c) assisting knowledge application to actual practice,
(d) creating communities of learners, and
(e) developing Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK)
(Mishra & Koehler, 2006; Thompson & Mishra, 2007-2008).
The Situated Technology Integration (SiTI) model was developed based on these characteristics.
