Abstract
The Mississippi State University (MSU) Senior Block offers opportunities for MSU faculty and K–8 schools to foster the expansion of unique preservice practicum sites where public schools and universities have the shared goal of enhancing education. Through this full-immersion partnership, all institutions will benefit and become better equipped to provide the best learning environments for K–8 learners, classroom mentor teachers, and preservice teacher education students. Through increased professional development school partnerships that include technology training in their focus, both preservice and inservice teachers can learn to use modern technologies to meet the needs of all 21st-century learners.
