Abstract: Guided by the ISTE Standards for Educators (2017) we designed a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project to study the developing technology competence of 215 preservice teachers’ (PT) enrolled in multiple sections of ACE103 Digital Instructional Technology. In this paper we use survey data to describe how PTs used VoiceThread (VT), a cloud application, to learn, design, and facilitate a small group lesson asynchronously in the cloud. We use descriptive, inferential and non-parametric statistics to gain insight into PTs’ experiences during the pre-design, design and facilitation phase, the value they placed on the VT experience, and their willingness to use VT with their future students. Findings have implications for teacher educators who are committed to enhancing PTs’ technology competence with asynchronous teaching and learning.
