This is my first İnfographic. Technology is undeniably changing the face of education, and it's easy to see the impact already. Imagine what classrooms will be like in 20 years with the speed of technological innovation. Actually the changes have been already happening.

Here you can find the reviews on educational apps in different disciplines. Really a useful site that is formed by educators around the world.

A short yet well curated list of most commonly used educational social networking sites.

"Teachers in many subjects, including math, science and foreign languages, are all using technology to switch up the way students learn. However, one area that hasn't recently been in the spotlight is physical education (PE), where it's assumed students just run around playing soccer or basketball." If you wonder about flipped learning in physical education, this sharing is for you ;)

SITE 2016 in Savannah, Georgia, March 21-25, is the 27th annual conference of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education. This society represents individual teacher educators and affiliated organizations of teacher educators in all disciplines, who are interested in the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the use of information technology in teacher education ... I know that it is late to say for this conference but I thought that maybe the studies can be followed by this conference news.

This link is also related with the conference and useful for us. http://site.aace.org/sigs/tpack-sig/

this infographic shows us that using technology in our lives has more place than in our educational purposes. It gives the rates of U.S, however i think that in our country or any other one rates are similar. Especially students use technology for socializing like smartphones, social medias or etc. rather than to use in education. :)

Education and technology are interconnected. This synergy is able to transform the world we live in. The contradictory phenomenon is that while being an early adopter of technology, education is also one of the last sectors to be fully transformed by it, due to institutional inertia and a number of other reasons.

This infographic presents 5 benefits of using technology in teacher education. One of the benefits that I found interesting was "technology reduces weight". I agree with this benefit a lot. Since I am a commuter as a doctoral student, I feel this benefit deeply. I used to carry huge handbooks and articles for a single presentation or a class reading. I now carry my iPad and use my cloud account on my tech tools, and read everywhere. I feel more comfortable and mobile now with the reduced weight and the less paper.

I like your choice which is simple but clearly describes what the benefits of using technology in the classroom :)

a list of some of the tech tools, including some that are becoming increasingly popular and widely used, that should be part of any teacher's tech tool arsenal this year, whether for their own personal use or as educational aids in the classroom.

This article suggests some research topics to develop literature for special education and technology

This article empahizes benefits of TPACK in integrating technology into special education and also suggests implications for preservice teacher education.

I founded a book containing so many proceedings related with Information Technologies in Teacher Education published by Unesco. In terms of TPACK framework, just pedagogy aspect is missing in these articles=)

An infographic on technology AND education. This infographic compares 2002 and 2012 in internet usage. Quantitative (the what) and qualitative (the how and why) perpectives.

I love how it shows the most searched items. You can clearly see what the trends were back then.

Seeing the enormous increase in the number of people using Facebook (from 3 to 900 million users), time spent on the Internet (46 minutes to 4 hours) made me think back about Punya Mishra's (at SITE Keynote) comment on making learning process a part of student's daily life. e.g. a class discussion or course content carried out on Facebook which can increase student participation. Inserting education to top trend websites or applications might be a useful idea to reflect upon.

The EdTech series of MIT is available on edX now. edX is a MOOC platform co-created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, The top universities around the globe, including the Ivy League schools, provide free classes to thousands of people every month. edX also features the legendary Justice course by Michael Sandel of Harvard University.

Caution! The link above is not a infographic, you may be bored while reading! Technology has a giant potential to support education. There are some examples of using technology to find solutions to educational process.

As recent educational research (including educational technology) has implied, context is extremely important to TPACK framework. By "context" it is usually meant classroom, teacher, student, and societal factors. Therefore, the complexities of TPACK do not develop in isolation but in a complex and dynamic relationship with all those contextual factors. However, this study shows that context is usually missing from research about TPACK. In this direction, Rosenberg and Koehler (2015) underscore the importance of including contextual factors in TPACK research and of showing the role of context on teachers' knowledge and practice in terms of technology integration. Personally speaking, I believe TPACK research should not only focus on survey findings but also should be accompanied by complex qualitative data focusing on micro and macro contextual factors.
