Abstract

Preservice teachers have little preparation in teaching their subject matter with technology and examining how their future students will learn from technology. This paper describes the PRAXIS Wisconsin Project in which preservice elementary and secondary teachers, along with mathematics faculty mentors, created digital learning objects. This extra-curricular project focused on guiding preservice teachers in connecting their mathematics knowledge for teaching with technology. Exit-surveys were evaluated using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) analytical framework developed by Mishra and Koehler. Results revealed that the learning object design process did support the connection among mathematics content, pedagogy, and technology for preservice participants.
