Abstract

The increasing use of mobile technologies in K-12 schools has challenged teacher educators to consider how to best provide preservice teachers with the opportunity to integrate mobile technologies into their teaching and learning. In this chapter, the author aims to highlight how mobile technologies that support collaboration in both asynchronous and synchronous learning can enhance preservice teachers' teaching and learning experiences. Drawing from the literature, this chapter focuses on facilitating collaborative learning using mobile technologies in teacher preparation. The affordances of mobile technologies, which promote a social constructivist approach to learning, are discussed in detail. These affordances include the ability to enhance computer-mediated learning conversations, co-construction of knowledge, and social interactions using social media. This chapter also provides information on the barriers to technology adoption that hinder preservice teachers from integrating mobile technologies into teaching and learning.
