• In Event: Roundtables - Friday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables II - TED

Short Description

This study examines the experiences of technohubs, prospective teachers that assist the most peers with instructional technology issues during a teacher education program. A phenomenological methodology is used to identify and analyze technohubs’ experiences. The findings demonstrate considerable promise and hurdles for thinking of technohubs as future teacher leaders and/or technology leaders. Teacher educators, administrators, and qualitative researchers with an emphasis on teacher education will benefit from the discussion and conversation during this session.
