Abstract
The ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) Standards have put technology integration 'on the map' for teacher educators, creating a useful reference point for guiding new teachers toward appropriate technology uses. The authors reflect on their work at a progressive teacher education college, assessing the strengths and limitations of a standards-driven approach to integrating technology. They describe a framework that organizes faculty and student technology learning around four themes: communication and dialog; inquiry using primary data; student constructive projects; and digital literacy. This 'map' is not proposed as a specific model to be adopted by other teacher educators, but rather as a stimulus for other faculty to build their own maps, reflecting their institutions core goals, values, and circumstances.
