In this article, we argue that it is possible to design pre-service education courses to enhance both pre- and in-service teachers' understanding of technology and emerging of e-pedagogy. Specifically, we examine a field-based technology course that provides teacher candidates with classroom-based teaching opportunities with technology. We focus on how this type of professional development partnering might be of benefit to the participating teacher candidates and mentor teachers.
