As generative AI reshapes education, teacher preparation programs must equip candidates to integrate technology ethically and effectively. This session presents the design of a new undergraduate course, Integrating Educational Technology and AI for Effective Teaching Practice, developed for pre-service teachers in their final preparation phase. Grounded in national standards and the ASSURE model, the course emphasizes AI literacy, applied practice, and ethical reflection. The presentation details the design process, key assignments, and collaboration strategies. Attendees will gain an adaptable structure for building tech-rich, practice-based courses, and a preview of a graduate-level companion course focused on cognitive approaches to AI in education.
