Abstract
The Teachers and Technology CONNECT website was created to connect K-12 teacher candidates with current classroom teachers. This website utilizes social media software and web 2.0 tools in a collaborative and supportive learning community. University teacher education students complete course activities using this website, including creating a video lesson plan. These videos are requested by participating classroom teachers and reflect best practices in using technology in the classroom. This successful project benefits both participating students and teachers, as well posted online for viewing by teachers around the world.
