This could include professional standards that educators use to guide curriculum design, such as the ISTE Standards for Educators or the Common Core State Standards as well as technology integration models like the RAT model, PICRAT model, TPACK model etc.

Abstract
Often, educators teach the way they were taught. To graduate pre-service teachers (PTs) and in-service teachers (ITs) who are power users of innovative web-based technology, teacher educators (TEs) need to enhance their own technology competence and model technology-rich instruction in traditional, online, and hybrid learning environments. TEs can accomplish this by using a technology integration model and professional standards to guide meaningful integration of emerging technology. In this chapter, the authors describe how they used the 2017 ISTE Standards for Educators and the Replacement, Amplification, and Transformation (RAT) Model to redesign six assignments at two universities in the USA. In addition to enhancing TEs' pedagogical technological knowledge, disposition, and skills, these modified assignments enhanced PTs' and ITs' 21st century skills (21st CS).
