Teacher Guide for iPad is used by thousands of teachers worldwide as an important resource to help integrate iPads into lessons. It includes over 600 lesson activity ideas and video tutorials that enhance learning outcomes rather than using technology for the sake of it. Created by Adam Foster, an experienced teacher who has used iPads in his lessons for over 5 years, the app also benefits from contributions from teachers worldwide.

New version of TI-Nspire calculator that can be used in math and science lessons

A nice wiki page with example lesson plans, websites, and resources. There are also links to other pages for other content areas within this page.

The 6 Steps to Flipping A Classroom Infographic synthesizes the overwhelming to-do list of flipping your classroom into 6 easy steps that make the whole process a little less daunting. Plan Figure out which lesson you're going to flip. Outline key learning outcomes and put together a lesson plan.

If you want to see a practical "how-to" guide for designing lessons check this one: a handbook for developing TPACK with learning activitytypes.

I have watched the speech today and it was very inspiring for two reasons; Firstly I feel ashamed for the presentations I have made in conferences and lessons. It was one of the most enjoyable and attractive presentations I've ever seen. It was a perfect example for the effective use of presentation technology and pedagogy to explain a concept. Secondly, it is a brief introduction to the TPACK concept. For my field, science education, I think it is particularly important because in science there are a variety of different topic and concepts which are not so easy to understand and visualize most of the times. Moreover, in science education hands-on activities and student-centered acitivities where students take the active role to learn "by doing " are especially important and effective. However, most of the time it is difficult to find appropriate materials and resources for conducting such activities. With an effective use of technology integrated into the classrooms, a teacher might find a way to make his/her students engage in different activities. In addition, there are some topics like solar systems which are diffferent to make observations and conduct experiments within the classroom. On the other hand, with animations, simulations, computer games, projects and so on the teacher might find a way for his/her students to experience activities related to solar system.

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,...

The results of the current study show that teachers involved in Fatih Project were especially content with being able to make their lessons visually more appealing for their students. They were, however, not satisfied with the in-service training provided, especially in understanding ways to effectively integrate the technologies into their teaching, and the limitations put upon Internet access from the tablets. The impacts of these tools on their teaching practices were very minimal.

These tools are included in a master thesis written by Muhammad Fauzan Ansyari in 2012. His study used different data collection tools such as TPACK and TAC questionnaires, a lesson plan rubric adapted from Harris, Grandgenett, and Hofer's Technology Integration Assessment Rubric, interviews about TPACK, and the researcher's logbook. They can be found in Appendices part of this thesis.

Hi everyone, I've shared an article on the development and refinement of a TPACK-fostering ICT instructional process. The results suggest that teachers' TPACK could be enhanced through the use of multiple types of instructional strategies. Nevertheless, some strategies are better targeted at TPACK development than others

Teachers are using social media in their classes and share them with public who are interested in integration social media into lessons

Hey! I think we should certainly play this game in our EDS-536 lesson. It would let us think creatively about how to apply TPACK into practice :)

It's definitely an enjoyable game for us to grasp the fundamentals of TPACK. I'd like to try it, indeed :)

Surprise of this week is the game. Last week, we did not have enough time to play it. Be prepared for the game. :D

The article is about TPACK framework- Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge- and how to integrate its use in lesson planning and classroom instruction.

The How YouTube Increases Classroom Pass Rates Infographic presents the benefits of Youtube in classrooms as well as ways for teachers to incorporate Youtube in their lessons and keep their students engaged. More engagement from students.

Flipped Classroom | November 2013 Digital Edition Early adopters share how schools can find success with teachers and students alike--even when the technology seems as topsy-turvy as the lessons.

You can find teachers or a lesson all around the world and involved in.

Here you can see an example of a use of blogging for my movie analysis class. I have been trying to make it most to carry the lesson beyond the classroom. The feedback I get from my students is quite positive; they love it!

This is really a good example of using blog in higher education and this is the first blog that I saw about a real class. Thanks for sharing..
