Research usually leads to curriculum development and modification. The educational technology curriculum should reflect the current technology trends. To help understand the trend, researchers decided to analyze the presentations at SITE conferences because SITE is one of the largest conferences in educational technology. The purpose of the study was to 1) understand the popularity of topics presented at SITE conferences, 2) find the trend of educational technology, 3) identify the relevance of the trend regarding teaching/learning in K-12 classroom, and 4) discuss the potential curriculum modification for the educational technology course required for pre-service teachers…

HyperDocs are interactive, digital teaching and learning materials created, disseminated, and remixed by educators. Currently, published, peer-reviewed research on HyperDocs does not exist. To explore educators’ (N=261) uses of and perceptions regarding HyperDocs, we used an online survey. Data indicated a wide range of definitions of HyperDocs. Diverse purposes for and approaches to HyperDoc use were evident. Engaging students or providing student choice were two influential reasons participants used HyperDocs. Changes to student learning processes or outcomes were the most noted positive results of HyperDoc use. We discuss these findings in relationship to the work of educators and the future of research on HyperDocs and other crowdsourced teaching and learning initiatives.

This study examined the perceptions and readiness of international secondary school teachers regarding blended teaching. Situated in the context of a teacher exchange initiative under the Fulbright Distinguished Awards for International Teachers (FDAI) program, we qualitatively investigated a range of teacher perceptions when it comes to blended learning. Interview data indicated that while teachers shared a value for blended learning, technology access including reliable access to the Internet was a major concern. Additional barriers included the need for teacher professional development, issues with class time and scheduling, a feeling of overwhelming expectations on the part of teachers, and the need for classroom management as it pertains to blended learning.

As K-12 blended and online learning grow, concerns about quality prevail. Ongoing is the discussion of what constitutes quality and the proliferation of national standards that represent the view of a variety of stakeholders with the exception of K-12 teachers who are challenged to design for and teach in these environments. With a perspective that “one must be able to define quality in order to assess it” (Schwirzke et al., 2018, p. 103), the researchers qualitatively analyzed 42 K-12 teachers’ perceptions about quality. Findings indicated that teachers’ perceptions aligned with some national standards and competencies related to K-12 blended and online courses and teaching, but also revealed unique characterizations…

21st Century teachers face challenges across disciplines in the acquisition of communication and technology skills. Teachers are tasked with added roles: resource provider, instructional specialist, learning facilitator, mentor, school leader, and lifelong learner (U.S. Department of Education, 2017). Equipping teachers with new trends and emerging technologies is paramount, and colleges must emphasize training to ensure teachers can analyze, synthesize, and apply learning concepts. Research indicates that the best way to increase student achievement is to have qualified teachers with specialized skills (Sparks & Killion, 2007; Gay, 2013). This text describes the growth of teacher education and emphasizes engagement practices…
