CHAPTER 6
The Necessity of Preparing
Teacher Candidates to Teach Online
MICHAEL MCVEY
EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
Overview
The tools and applications for online instruction appropriate
for PK–12 teaching have increased in quality, and soon
access to them will be nearly universal (Consortium for
School Networking, 2018). The consequence of this vastly
improved online platform is that many teaching activities
traditional to the physical classroom may move beyond
those classroom walls and into a virtual teaching space.
Teacher preparation programs will need to prepare teacher
candidates to use web-based tools and related instructional
design in their teaching practice.
