Five integration activities that any teacher can do.

Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı'nın Fatih Projesi kapsamında, 4 ilde tablet bilgisayar dağıtıldı. Tekirdağ Belediyesi Anadolu Öğretmen Lisesi'ndeki tablet dağıtım törenine katılan Tekirdağ Valisi Ali Yerlikaya, Fatih Projesi kapsamında 3 pilot okulda 734 öğrenciye tablet bilgisayar dağıtıldığını belirtti. Vali Yerlikaya, okullardaki 136 öğretmene de tablet bilgisayar verildiğini ifade ederek, Türkiye'nin teknolojisiyle adından söz ettirdiğini söyledi.

the survey results about fatih project demonstrate that the project is not successful as expected http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalGaleriHaber&ArticleID=1123151&CategoryID=77&HaberPage=1. I think there is need for deep understanding what's going on in the classes and more training for teachers in order to use all these technologies effectively.

Tuğba, I would be interested in reading a broader study that looks at Fatih Project from different perspectives of designers, students, administrators, teachers, parents etc. Any educational innovation needs to look at the implication from the holistic perceptive. Therefore, a larger scope qualitative study would really help.

The article evaluates FATIH project from future mathematics teachers' perspective.

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

This is not related with this week's topic, yet I found it interesting. SAMR is a framework for integrating technology into the classroom. It may help to assess ourselves as teachers while designing our learning activities.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. The TPACK framework extends Shulman's idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

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

This is the abstract of a research study . In this study they invited a research panel (six researchers) and an expert panel (54 science-related educators) to propose and validate the framework of TPACK-practical. They applied two rounds of anonymous communications and Delphi survey techniques; identified a total of eight dimensions of TPACK-practical and corresponding indicators and rated them as having high levels of importance. They found disciplinary differences between the different groups of experts. Their findings suggest that the structure and content of subject matter shapes not only the way they teach with technology but also the thinking logics they build longitudinally from their learning experiences

While I was doing research on TPACK, I saw that validity of TPACK-practical model was examined in Turkish context.In that study, it was revealed that the adapted form of the survey exhibited the same item-factor harmony and structure as the original form.

A good summary of educational technology tools that teachers can use in and out their classes

thanks Hatice. there are many i have heard for the first time :)

Me too. It is difficult to catch innovations..:D

This week we are going to look at how we can use flipped classroom in our classrooms - as a teacher. This link provides a student perspective to this technology.

I've just found this paper about TPACK in special education, unfortunately I couldn't reach the full paper. so, I'm so curious about it.

Teacher and Student assessment of 21st century skills

Dear Friends, I strongly recommend that you read this article. The researchers designed, implemented and evaluated a PD program to help urban teachers in low-income underserved schools in the U.S. learn how to utilize iPads and educational apps to support teaching and learning

Dear Ecenaz, thank you for sharing it! And you can download it for free from the following link: http://sci-hub.io/10.1016/j.compedu.2015.04.009# You can download from the box above on the left of the page. I think it might guide us for our PD designs.

The author of this article tries to answer why so many teachers are resistant to mobile devices in their classrooms although their students tend to believe that smartphones and laptops can assist their learning. After reading the text, I realized how social attitude toward mobile learning can be a decisive factor in terms of its integration into education.

In case you may need them for your professional development workshops. :)
