The potential of AI in K-12 education is vast, promising personalized learning experiences, enhanced engagement, and innovative instructional tools. However, its introduction into classrooms brings forth concerns ranging from ethics to teacher preparedness. Drawing on Christensen's concept of disruptive innovation, this study aims to assess and…

Technology integration, particularly its growing popularity in PK-12 classrooms in the United States, is an ongoing issue. Studies have shown that professional development around integrating technology in the classroom can only go so far with increasing teacher workloads. Integrating technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and…

Learning analytics (LA) is an educational innovation that enhances teaching practices and facilitates student learning. However, the degree of LA adoption across schools remains limited, and teachers who adopt LA do not engage with it consistently. Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a framework, we conducted…

A growing number of studies are focusing on the effect of teachers' knowledge on their behavioral intention to use technology in teaching. This study aims to explore the influence of teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) on their behavioral intention to use technology by including their technology self-efficacy and attitude…

As teacher educators who need to support the next generation of practitioners with technology and practice in the post-COVID teaching landscape, we draw on PICRAT (Kimmons, Graham, and West 2020) to guide our instructional work. This paper primarily addresses the ways that PICRAT has moved beyond TPACK and SAMR, two foundational theories for…

This Spotlight explores the potential of AI to enhance teaching and learning, while also addressing considerations for responsible implementation.

This study examined changes in Pre-service teachers' (PSTs) Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and self-perceived stage of adoption (SOA) of technology as PSTs progressed through an online summer educational technology course. The longitudinal study was guided by the following research questions: 1) How did PSTs' externally…

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to develop an understanding of mobile technology integration in K-12 classrooms from the perspective of classroom teachers during the 2022-2023 school year. The increase in mobile technologies being utilized in schools made it imperative to understand how mobile devices are being integrated into the…

This study examined technology integration in K-12 schools during a global pandemic from the perspective of classroom teachers. Three theoretical frameworks were used to support this study: Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition (SAMR) Model Theory, and Sensemaking Theory. TPACK is…

This discourse presents TPACK as a conceptual framework for thinking about the integration of Virtual Reality into the classroom. This content introduces the concept of immersion, explores of the possibilities of VR technology, including the hardware, software, and potential classroom uses. This review also provides heuristics for deciding VR's…

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is seen as a promising tool to enhance learning outcomes and provide students with engaging learning environments in developing countries such as Colombia.
