TPACK Papers in LearnTechLib (800+) TPACK SIG Forum on Academic Experts TPACK SIG blog Catalyzed by much interest at the SITE 2007 conference and launched during SITE 2008 by Judi Harris, Matt Koehler, Mario Kelly, and Punya Mishra, the Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) SIG seeks to bring together researchers, developers, and teacher educators interested

Gamification is a new concept for me, according to the infographic %43 of teachers (we dont know who) include gamification in their classrooms, and that increases the average test scores about %10.

This infographic summarizes the 4 key findings of a study with more than 600 K-12 teachers. Among the key findings are 3 barriers that are considered by the participants to have the potential to prevent them from using more technology in their classes. Two of the barriers mentioned, lack of technical support and training, are pretty common in the literature, but the third one was interesting to me. 33% of the participants argued that because they cannot figure out whether a student is on task or not while performing something on a technological device, they refrain from using it.

This short article presents 5 web 2.0 applications to be used in a flipped classroom.

In this short informative video clip, two experienced flippers offer a number of ways to overcome the challenges posed by the flipped classrooms. Here is the outline of the video: - alternative ways on how to access content, - how to watch educational videos, - the optimum length of the videos, - how to motivate students to watch the videos before coming to class, - some techniques to improve the quality of the videos, - the flexibility of flipped approaches, - the importance of contextual factors on the effectiveness of flipped classrooms.

this video illuminated me about the minimum properties of an instructional video. I agree that while providing a video teacher should consider the grade of students. Language, clarity and length of video is important to gain student attention. And this is a good idea that starting with small pieces may be good to try the flipped classroom model and adjust students.

Here are the possible flipped classroom scenarios, the roles of teachers and students in the scenarios are given in a table.

"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 ;)

In the article, you may find some advantages of establishing a social networks for learning. Rather than being a passive user, experiencing professional learning community in social networks may be future trends so students should have capable of using social learning tools consciously and creatively .

This is a website for teachers that provides various simulation resources ;)

This link gives information about simulated teaching. It includes subtitles like steps in simulated teaching, teacher training and simulation, advantages and disadvantages of simulated teaching method, definition and importance of simulated teaching method etc. Enjoy!
