During the first quarter of the program, a specific technology course used science/mathematics problem-based activities to guide the preservice teachers in learning about (a) various technologies, (b) pedagogical considerations with these technologies, and (c) teaching/learning with these technologies. This course was their first exposure to the real-time data collection devices (calculator-based ranger (CBR) or calculator/ computer-based laboratory (CBL) probes) that they were expected to teach with in their student teaching experience. The students explored a variety of mathematics and science problems that could be considered in the curriculum. While these activities were designed to help the student teachers become familiar with the use of the sensors for gathering real-time data, their attention was also focused on how they might design lessons to focus on specific goals and objectives in their curriculum.
