Journal of Interdisciplinary Education: Theory and Practice

This was conducted to investigate the views of preservice teachers about learning Web 2.0 tools and using these tools to create educational digital content. The study was designed in qualitative research method. Semi-structured interviews were carried out to collect data from 18 preservice teachers studying in various programs in the faculty of education. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Findings showed that students emphasized the effortlessness of learning Web 2.0 tools and the convenience of designing and integrating educational digital content into the teaching and learning process. Although they indicated their concerns about utilizing these tools, they found these tools useful in terms of attracting attention, increasing learning retention, improving creative thinking and facilitating learning well as practical in terms of saving time, accessing resources and sharing information. They were very contented with using these tools that were supportive to improve the instructional practices in their own field even though very few of them thought differently. Finally, they were willing to utilize these tools in their future classroom settings.
