Abstract

In this paper, the author describes the use of technology in two educational foundations courses. One course, “Social Foundations of American Education,” is an undergraduate core requirement that enrolls 30–60 preservice teachers. On the other hand, “Pedagogy, Equality of Opportunity, and the Education of Blacks in the U.S.” is a graduate level elective foundations course that enrolls 8–12 senior-level or graduate students. Presentation software (PowerPoint), Internet and Web resources, and audio and video recordings are examples of multimedia instructional technologies that are incorporated into one or both courses. The author goes beyond mere description of how technology tools are used by uncovering the ways in which classroom environment and technology access influence their use, as does the instructor’s theoretical groundings.
