Previous studies have concluded that ICT are underused in primary and early childhood classrooms partly due to lack of appropriate training. This study explores ICT use and the validity of a training proposal as reported on a survey by two groups of students after their teaching practicum. Results showed traditional technological tools were used more frequently than collaborative tools and suggest that receiving an instructional technology course provided students with a broader toolkit of ICT tools, a more critical opinion of technology use and an increased sense of agency.
