Suddenly, with the advent of COVID-19, our familiar teaching tools disappeared. How, in a two-dimensional world, were teachers to connect students? This is question we have all been asking ourselves since last spring — and when began discuss this forum, it was posed community. We asked student teachers, cooperating student-teacher supervisors reflect on single moment from past year. hoped docum...

This paper describes a project supported by funds from the U.S. Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology. The work focused on helping to improve technology integration in a preservice teacher education course and reflects the changing paradigm in education by addressing the increasing demand for technological skills. The author used web-based technology to broad...

In this paper we explore the phenomenon of “shattered images” in the learning to teach process. For our presentation and discussion we draw on: reflective accounts of preservice teachers written prior to, during, and following periods of field experience; our experiences as teachers and teacher educators; and, on our own and other research on teacher education and development, particularly on o...

During the practicum, pre-service teachers (PSTs) practice instructional skills such as lesson planning and clarity of instruction. Different approaches to assisting PSTs with coaching, mentoring, or supervision have been developed improve PSTs' skills. We conducted a meta-analysis based on quasi-experimental experimental studies. The results showed small significant overall effect (d = 0.41). ...

Social networks as a Web 2.0 technology have become a popular information exchange medium which is characterized by diverse, intuitive communication services.

The kinematics and dynamics of two industrial cooperating robots are presented in this paper. The NOC (natural orthogonal complement) method is used to derive the dynamical equations for the motion of two cooperating robots. The joint torques of the two robots are determined based on the optimization techniques in order to obtain unique solution for joint torques. To this end, minimizing the cr...
