TPACK video case studies.

Dear friends you can find TPACK case studies in your own disciplines in this website. Both secondary and elementary school cases are available.

Dear Mine hocam, I really like the cases here and also I found my field. In the following days, we may benefit from those cases. Thank you so much for sharing :)

There are examples for different domains how technology can be integrated into specific topics. I shared one from science: Also, we can watch videos among teachers and students to get feedback about TPACK cases.

After reading the week's article, this case study might draw your attention.

This is a case study conducted in pre-service teachers in Sydney. They observed the impact of a new curriculum adaptation and evaluated teachers' TPACK perceptions with a survey. The results displayed a positive effect on pre-service teachers' ICT tools during teaching with the help of TPACK.

Hello Everybody. I invited Matti Pirttimaa to our group. He is a university teacher at the University of Turku, Finland and he is very interested in our coursework. Please welcome Matti to our Diigo group. 

In our University we use Moodle2. Last autumn we started to use Moodle2, it is a little more advanced version, but don't have possibilities for social media. I think also that as a disadvantage. Evrim, I would to ask you, which is the main subject of the students in this group? Are they subject teacher students? How about this your course and your role here, is that an independent course just for learning technology in education? Or are you studying some other subject, but you use this group and social media tools for learning the subject content? Whatever, I think these things are very usefull for the students despite of the disciplines.

Matti, this is "Research and Practice on Technology in Teacher Education" graduate course. Students are from the masters and PhD programs such as computer education, science education, curriculum and instruction, math education, and physical education. Throughout the semester, we will be investigating recent practices on how technology is integrated into teacher education programs as well as the TPACK framework. We are using these tools to extend our class interaction beyond what happens in a limited 3 hour face to face meetings. Besides, students are using this further after the class ends.

Very interesting indeed! It would be helpful if the author illustrated further the data analysis process, including coding. One challenge working with self-report data is that it's self reported. It's important to add more direct data sources for triangulation purpose, analyses of documents, e.g., lesson plans, in this particular case with preservice teachers. I would recommend observations. In fact, Evrim and I have been working with a few colleagues on an observation study among exemplary teachers with technology integration with the goal to visualize TPACK. That's one of the focuses in my dissertation. I designed a TPAKC-in-Action model to guide the CALL teacher education workshops and conducted them with inservice English teachers in Taiwan. After completed those workshops, I went to teachers' classrooms and observe their teaching. There have been some interesting and amazing findings and results! Will share more with everyone in June. Before then,...

If you want to look at Turkey's case about CoP check Bahar Baran's thesis and her publications.

The discussion leaders of next week may have already heard about this simulation tool, but, in any case, I wanted to post it here for everyone's attention. To be honest, I have not explored it yet, but it seems promising. :)

Yasin, you've ruined the surprise! Just kidding. :) Yes, actuallyi we will explore this simulation a bit in class next week. (hopefully).

Great news! :) Then, I'll wait for our class meeting to learn more about it instead of doing all by myself. ;)

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

This infographic is to show some dynamics that make a shift to technology in education necessary. Examples given in it present the alterative power the internet has. And, the personalized learning is one of the most important advantages of technology use as an alternative to "one-size-fits-all" models as discussed in readings, which is emphasized in this infographic too.

I guess, depending on the case, the answer is both. As presented in the infographic, there are situations -for example where people can not reach schools as a result of various reasons- that make online tools a good alternative for the schools. I believe that "alternative" is a keyword for this discussion and presenting people different choices is a good approach for me. There are ideas emphasizing that "technology will not replace teachers but teachers who do not use technology will be replaced" which can be agreed upon; yet, there are others too. For example, can we ignore the ideas of progressivists if they aim to use technology to create the ideal conditions that can not be realized in institutionalized schools for the education they think the most proper?

Of course, we cannot ignore "use of technology" to create ideal conditions for today's education settings. Then, it can be said use effectively and benefited from it or them.

Here you can see the review of Fatih Project and recommendations of the authors in accordance with their case study.

One of the most popular models mentioned nowadays... The results in this infographic shows the reason of this fame. Looks like flipping a classroom fosters both academic and social skills of students as it decreases the percentage of failure and number of discipline cases :)

This infographic presents comprehensive information about flipped classrooms. Before I saw this infographic, I did not know how this new learning model emerged. It is great to see that two high school teachers leaded this model.

It is one flipped classroom case from Turkish school. A social science teacher used flipped classroom model and it is one of the best application of fliiped classroom.

that's great! A very talented and skillful teacher there. I wonder how he comes up with so many different activities. He takes learner-centeredness to a whole new-level with that teacher-assistanship system.

Benefits and dangers of social media in education

Mine, thank you very much for sharing this link. In my classrooms, the most frequent problems I come across are unoriginal thinking, plagiarism, and cheating. Although social media tools are amazing in that they are up to date, I have doubts on their effects on critical thinking skills of the students. Another case is informality, of course. The tools do limit the vocabulary the students use. I guess the problems that I listed are interconnected in some way. In short, we can conclude that the speed to reach, and the brevity of information the Internet and social media provide push students to be shallow in many respects. It's up to us as teachers to utilize the tools in the best way possible.
