Technology in Teacher Education

This infographic shows how universities use social media, which websites used for what purposes, and advantanges and difficulties of using social media. I found it to be very comprehensive. We also see that today social media is mostly used for practical purposes ,such as; announcement from schools, material share and networking in educational context. Challanges stated are woth to consider before attempting to use social media in education.

This is a nice infographic. Nowadays the universities are even recruiting social media experts to manage their image on the virtual world. A 2-min-video might become viral and add a lot to the popularity of the university. Or prospective students check the information available about a university on social media channels before making a career choice.

In this infographic we can see what devices can be most important to academic success for undergraduate students and their contribution percentages to success. Also, for what they are using those devices can be seen such as accessing syllabi and using course management systems, as we are also doing currently, and checking their grades. In addition, we can easily say that taking a class completely online is getting higher year by year. One of the interesting points of this infographic for me is that students said technology helps them feel connected to other students and their instructors and what's going on at the institution.

I like this infographic, it is speaking with data. It shows the most common devices used and also the applications. I think when we think the fast development of technology, this is a good representation.

In the infographic, the change in the way how people learn is summarized in four ways. Through technology, people learn collaboratively rather than individually and become active learners rather than passive ones. Moreover, when compared to before, personalized learning can be better achieved through technology, and there is an increase in multi-tasking.

This infographic presents 5 benefits of using technology in teacher education. One of the benefits that I found interesting was "technology reduces weight". I agree with this benefit a lot. Since I am a commuter as a doctoral student, I feel this benefit deeply. I used to carry huge handbooks and articles for a single presentation or a class reading. I now carry my iPad and use my cloud account on my tech tools, and read everywhere. I feel more comfortable and mobile now with the reduced weight and the less paper.

I like your choice which is simple but clearly describes what the benefits of using technology in the classroom :)

This infograghic is about history of distance education. We have talked about distance learning in the classroom. Distance learning is a new terminology for me. However, its history is very long than I thought.

This infographic is about the education and integration of technology. It shows in the table the winnings both for the teacher and the student.

We have seen in our last class that using TPACK in classroom is actually not that easy. In this article, you can see what happened in the TPACK attempt of Alexandria Country Day School, Virginia, USA, which was a pilot study on iPad integration to the curricullum.

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. Here is the link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131515001189

There are many data collection tools regarding TPACK, but they measure components of TPACK (PK, CK, TK, TPK, TCK, PCK, TPCK) separately. In this study, a reliable and valid scale was developed to measure TPCK component, which is the intersection point of three main components.It was found that TPCK component consists of four constructs/dimensions. They are design, exertion, proficiency and ethics.

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.

He's talking about the fundamentals of the future's digital schools.

edu-sharing is a non-profit organization which helps educational organizations to participate in OER.

Washington state community college students seeking an associate degree will soon be able to opt for a competency-based online business transfer degree that uses open educational resources (OER) in all courses. The courses are under creation in partnership with Lumen Learning.

Take free online classes from 115+ top universities and educational organizations. We partner with schools like Stanford, Yale, Princeton, and others to offer courses in dozens of topics, from computer science to teaching and beyond. Whether you are pursuing a passion or looking to advance your career, Coursera provides open, free education for everyone.

What began as modest and sometimes heroic efforts by faculty members to use resources and materials found on the Internet to provide their students with alternatives to buying expensive textbooks has blossomed into the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement, which is gaining traction nationwide.

Öğrenciler heyecanla bekliyor peki Okullara Ne Zaman Tablet Dağıtılacak 2015 Mayıs hakkında bilgi kısaca. Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı (MEB), gelecek yılın ilk yarısından itibaren okullar başladığında, ücretsiz ders kitaplarının yanında tablet bilgisayarları da vermeye başlayacak.

Belki de tablet dağıtımından önce, tabletlerin nasıl ve nerede kullanılacağına dair kapsamlı çalışmalar yapmak, bütçenin etkin bir şekilde kullanılmasını sağlayabilir.

Öğretmen eğitiminin uluslararası standartlara ve birçok değişkene göre incelendiği kapsamlı bir çalışma olmuş

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the early implementation results of the "Movement of Enhancing Opportunities and Improving Technology", abbreviated as FATIH project from the perspectives of participating teachers and students.

It's good to see the perspectives of the users of Fatih Project. Thanks Seda!
