Bitter, G. G. & Yohe, R. L. (1989). Preparing teachers for the information age. Educational Technology,29 (3), 22-25.

This article describes the logic used to prescribe a force fed pre-service teacher technology curriculum. Admittedly it is based on the stated assumption that, "the structure of education will remain the same in the future." Somewhat contradictorily it cites the ineffectiveness of traditional inservice programs as jusification for pre-service programs to engender the ability to adapt to a changing society. To me it was a clear example of what can occur when a need to change is perceived and advocated without a real commitment to, or vision of, the change.
