Abstract

The growing importance of technology in education presents challenges for the current conceptualization of student engagement. This descriptive case study presents an extended characterization of student engagement to better address the concept of engagement with technology designed to support teaching and learning with technology. This emerging model of engagement with technology was used as a framework to develop and facilitate courses in an online continuing education MS program with an integrated science, mathematics, and technology curriculum. The study revealed the influence of using this new model of engagement with technology in program design on teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK).
