Abstract: The integration of technology into teacher education has brought about transformative changes in how educators are trained. This article explores innovative approaches in teacher education that leverage technological tools and platforms to enhance learning. The study examines the role of online learning environments, virtual simulations, artificial intelligence, and mobile learning in fostering a more personalized, efficient, and inclusive educational experience. By focusing on these emerging technologies, this research aims to highlight the potential of tech-driven innovations to reshape teacher education, equipping educators with the skills necessary to thrive in the evolving educational landscape. Blended learning, which combines online instruction with traditional face-to-face classes, is one of the primary ways technology is being integrated into teacher education. This model allows teacher candidates to access learning materials, collaborate with peers, and engage in discussions through digital platforms, offering flexibility while still maintaining the benefits of in-person interaction. Innovative approaches in teacher education are reshaping the way future educators are trained and prepared for the classroom. By embracing technology, project-based learning, collaborative models, culturally responsive pedagogy, reflective practices, and field-based learning, teacher education programs can provide prospective teachers with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to succeed in the 21st-century classroom.
