This chapter is from the handbook of "Educational Technology, Teacher Knowledge, and Classroom Impact: A Research Handbook on Frameworks and Approaches" http://www.amazon.com/Educational-Technology-Teacher-Knowledge-Classroom/dp/1609607503 I am curious about this book:) and its chapters.

It's a brief overview of TPACK and ends with a serious claim labeling "Language Teaching" on PCK section unlike many other researchers putting forward an all-encompassing circle.

a brief discussion leads here upon Simpson's claim: http://www.teachthemenglish.com/2012/09/an-introduction-to-the-tpack-model/

Teacher and Student assessment of 21st century skills

This is a research study carried out in Turkey. To assess pre-service English as a foreign language teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale was used and students were asked to answer some open-ended questions. The results of the study revealed a highly developed knowledge of TPACK among undergraduate students of an ELT program at a public university in Turkey. On the basis of the results, it is suggested that the integration of content, pedagogy and technological knowledge into the existing teacher education paradigm and fostering technologically-rich environment for language learners will contribute to quality learning and teaching.

My Good-Evil oscillation ambigram design is easily one of my most popular designs - having made it to multiple publications, websites, covers of magazines, on the TV Show Brain Games... and now it has made its way into a medical research journal Frontiers of Physiology in an article on (of all things), cardiac remodeling.

"In this research, we explore how educators are using digital education services to deliver personalised programs. Through inputs from a series of in-depth interviews, surveys and social listening, we paint a picture of how the world of work and learning might evolve over the next forty years." A 16-page report from IBM.

Dear Friends, I strongly recommend that you read this article. The researchers designed, implemented and evaluated a PD program to help urban teachers in low-income underserved schools in the U.S. learn how to utilize iPads and educational apps to support teaching and learning

Dear Ecenaz, thank you for sharing it! And you can download it for free from the following link: http://sci-hub.io/10.1016/j.compedu.2015.04.009# You can download from the box above on the left of the page. I think it might guide us for our PD designs.

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..)

It is interesting to notice that this research study has also similar findings in terms of the problems and weaknesses in FATIH Project. It was conducted with information technologies guide teachers and it reached similar results as the lack of training for both teachers and students, and the lack of required materials to be used by both teachers and students.

I could not tweet because of the problems in my Twitter account; that is why, I would like to share the resources I have found here. :) This research study aims to learn about classroom teachers point of views about FATIH Project. Half of the teachers think that the project will be a failure because of technical problems of tablets, lack of teacher's technological competency and the training of teachers. However, they think that the project may help students in terms of not carrying heavy bags and providing a better, tehcnology-enriched learning atmosphere.

MoLeNET was a unique collaborative approach to introducing and supporting mobile learning in education and training via supported shared cost mobile learning projects. Collaborative approach is related to my interest. It provided technical and pedagogic advice and support, materials development, continuing professional development, mentoring, facilitation of peer-to-peer support, networking and resource sharing, research and evaluation.

I could not reach my tweets under our hashtag on Twitter. :( Therefore, I wanted to share two sources for this week's discussion about mobile learning. This one is a research study for pre-service math teachers who utilize mobile learning through IPADs. It has quite promising and positive results!

He really work intensively to promote MOOCS and OERs.

For the past 3 years, UNESCO has been working to provide advice and guidance to governments and other stakeholders seeking to leverage increasingly ubiquitous and affordable mobile technologies for learning. UNESCO has conducted research in a number of areas, such as mobile reading, mobile learning policies, and promoting gender equality with ICTs. The resulting publications describe the unique educational advantages of mobile technology and articulate strategies to build policy environments in which these advantages can take root and grow.

This site enables one to research his/her online options with our database of more than 1,600 schools by filtering his/her choices by subject, degree level, tuition, and more to find an online school that will fit his/her needs.

The world's educational philosophy has been changed , and now that we can reach all off the sources online with a computer and Internet connection. This database is quite a beneficial source in terms of its vast filter and content.

It is really interesting that 91% of the students admitted that they failed to complete the readings before the class, and %46 of them stated they would complete it if it was in the digital format. So, it seems that digital format is more appealing than thick,old,heavy books :)

Not much surprising results for me too. I have observed similar patterns in my undergraduate classes. We also need to discuss the quality of reading experience with technology. There is some research out there.

Yes, it is not a surprise result. Enhancements in technology and devices changed people's life in many ways. For example, children meet technology and its opportunities before they meet books.Before being literate, children can learn many thing by playing games on tablets and using internet. Actually, it is an easy and preferable way for reaching knowledge.

Recently IGI Global caught up with editor and contributing author Margaret Niess, who recently attended the American Educational Research Association (AERA) 2013 Annual Meeting April 27th-May 1st in San Francisco, California. U.S.

'The Many Faces of TPACK: Perspectives and Approaches" is a Wikibook created as part of the Research and Practice on Technology in Teacher Education Course (EDS 536) taught at Middle East Technical University in Spring 2013.

Ooo.. This is our online book which is the product of EDS536_2013. Lucky us as you :) Thanx Ahsen!

Both K12 and higher education classes can be adapted to flipped classrooms. In this infographic, flipped classrooms applied for two education levels are compared with regard to some criteria. While there are more research studies on flipped learning for higher education than ones for K12, it is interesting to see that while 78% of school teachers flipped one lesson in 2014, only 29% of college instructors tried flipping a class.
