To equip classroom teachers with solid knowledge and skills and strong confidence in using technology, it is important for teacher educators to “empower connected learners in a connected world” ( ISTE, 2017). However, teachers' decisions in using technology in the classroom are often influenced by their own knowledge and level of confidence ( Wu and An, 2015). To make changes, educators need to collaborate with colleagues to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems ( ISTE, 2017). The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) (2017) calls for major changes in education by rethinking education, adapting to a constantly changing technological landscape and preparing students to enter an increasingly global economy.

In today's digital era, rapid development of new technology has a profound impact on the ways we teach and children learn.
