Abstract
Colleges and schools of education today are facing a challenge caused by the differing philosophies and views of their teacher education faculty and the educational technology faculty. Some believe that technology should play a role in education and should be integrated within teacher education courses. Others feel technology should be left to an expert who teaches one course on technology skills. Still others believe that there are more important skills preservice teachers need, such as literacy or child development, and that technology is receiving too much attention.
