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.

This is a video how to use online communities for teaching.

Similar to IATEFL, TESOL is one of the biggest online communities for English Language Teachers, of which I am also a member. The interest sections let you get updates or questions from your peers all over the world on the subjects you are most interested in (e.g. Materials writing, Intercultural Competence, LGBTI issues, Research, Pronunciation..)

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.

"Join over 33 million teachers and students safely connecting in online classrooms, collaborating on assignments, discovering new resources, and more!"

* Edmodo is an online networking application for teachers and students. * Think Facebook, but in a safe and controlled environment appropriate for school edmodo is primarily a tool for within class communication, but it also provides several ways for teachers to connect with other teachers. * Over 500,000students are using edmodo worldwide

Excellent use of sub-groups to stimulate activity, good inclusion of game mechanics and it's all for a good cause. "Make a loan to an entrepreneur across the globe for as little as $25. Kiva is the world's first online lending platform connecting online lenders to entrepreneurs across the globe."

"You don't need strong technical expertise to build a community for your local neighbourhood. The online home of all things Harringay (you may say Harringay Green Lanes) with a good mix of Hornsey and Crouch End."

I loved how the guidelines are given as ingredients using the 'cooking' metaphor for 'supporting learning community'

I think this is a good example for an online learning community by California State University. You can register for free to join :)

MERLOT II is just like the online platform I know -NING-. I have never heard it before and it looks really educative.

Here you can find really good advices to stay safe in your social networking connections. The advice for being prepared to answer questions about your social networking page or other social account in job interviews is a good one that I didn't realize before.

The notion of community has been at the heart of the Internet since its inception, yet our understanding of the specific contours and details of what that community should look like have changed dramatically. Initially, we were driven by the desire to engage with people we didn't know and grow our community, as shared interests and passions drove our desire to connect.

My digital chalkboard is an online community of learning. Registiration is free. It include many professional development subjects such as curriculum, evaluation and all the subject of K-12 curriculum. Not only teachers, but also principals are member of this community.

A nice and short infographic for those who asked the question "If this is the flipped class, wthat is the blended class?" It clarifies the difference between blended and flipped classrooms.

Can we say the common thing is the technology use or online activities for both of them. Without online courses or practices can we talk about any type of blended learning or flipped classroom ?

A new way to debate! They may find more evidence about their claim of course if this is not considered as cheating. :)

Murat, this is interesting. I plan to conduct similar experiment in my class using Twitter for debating. There are some examples out there!

A tool for creating infographics. Perhaps, we can create one for our wikibooks.

It looks great. I am going to share this website with our PSTs. Maybe they'll use it. :)

It seems very useful and I am sure I will use this website in my studies. There are several graphic options. You can also add chart, map, video or picture. However, you can not edit picture such as cropping or adjusting of colors. Especially cropping of pictures can be needed.
