Moving Down the Yellow Brick Road: The New Paradigm of Digital Teaching and Learning for Teacher Preparation
Abstract
It is not a new revelation that education is changing and shifting to a new paradigm. We have been journeying as educators in this paradigm since the first computer lab entered our schools. But, we didn’t necessarily believe that this journey into a digital world would be our responsibility. We were comfortable leaving the journey to the technology coordinators and technology educators. Today however, we can no longer leave technology outside of our classrooms. As educators, we are all responsible to insure that our students embrace the 21st century with the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed as global citizens. This article focuses on the new 21st century paradigm shift to digital teaching and learning in education, provides an overview of this learning, and challenges teacher preparation programs to embrace this new paradigm in their teaching in higher education.
