Congratulations!

I think he's right.

Here's a list of applications for science education. Please install iCell, Solar explorer lite, and electric box on your mobile phones and tablets. We'll try them together, tomorrow.

I have never thought to use angry birds for educatonal purposes but it will be great to teach about projectile motion.

A survey instrument designed to measure K-12 online teachers' knowledge with respect to three key domains as described by the TPACK framework: technology, pedagogy, content, and the combination of each of these areas.

It is a self-assessment survey. The respondents were asked to rate their own knowledge of a set of tasks related to technology, pedagogy, content, and blending of these areas with a question of "How would you rate your own knowledge in doing the following tasks associated with teaching in a distance education setting?".

There are great (and also free) science and math activities and simulations. I wish there are more turkish websites like this one.

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.

Is teachers' having higher levels of TPACK is enough to improve instruction? What are the students' role in technology enhanced education?

It is available through METU Online library services.

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.

A nice prezi related to TPACK in science education prepared by Jamie Smith.

Welcome to our group Diana. And thank you Evrim hocam for introducing us to such expert researchers. We'll learn so much from all of you.

It is a nice infographic summarizing teachers' and students' technological needs in classrooms.

Maybe I would not have hated my literature classes if I was writing blog posts instead of compositions. :)
