What is TPACK? | Teaching Teachers for the Future - 10 views
-
Expert teachers now are those who can bring together knowledge of subject matter, what is good for learning, and technology (ICT)
-
Perhaps the core of what this course is trying to achieve - develop and bring together knowledge of subject material, good learning and technology
-
I take it you mean the 'core of what this course is trying to achieve' :) and I agree.
-
We are lucky to be learning how to integrate technology into our pedagogy NOW. If I had done a teaching degree when I first left school I would probably be a very different teacher.
-
This statement links TPACK nicely for me.

We have understood for a long time that expert teachers are those who can bring together their deep knowledge of subject matter with profound understanding of what is good for learning. The combination has been described as Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and is more than the simple addition of two parts. The fusion is what enabled expert 20th century teachers to transform subject content and represent it in ways that made it accessible to individual learners in their specific contexts.
-
I love the first sentence. I would class an expert teacher as one who covers all PCK in a way that engages students' full attention.
-
I love this first sentence too, it is so meaningful and fully grasps the importance of being a great teacher versus an ok teacher.
-
Agreed, in addition I find the last part of the paragraph insightful. The expert teacher transforms subject content and makes it accessible to individual learners. The idea that the teacher uses their content knowledge and their pedagogic knowledge to integrate technology in such a manner that it transforms content so as to meet individual needs. I find this conceptual picture of an expert teacher very inspirational.
-
Faeza, your comment about transforming content to meet individual needs struck a cord with me. Thanks.

High School Student, Jeff Bliss gives a lesson to his teacher at Duncanville, TX - YouTube - 1 views
-
A video doing the rounds in which a US high school student complains bitterly about the teaching approach used. i.e. hand out packets, read. He wants the teacher to teach, to engage the students. A lesson there about what's acceptable teaching strategies. But more broadly, there's a lesson here about the spread of smart phones with video. What happens in your classroom can be recorded and made public. The classroom may not be as private as you think. A typical knee-jerk response may be to ban the use of device. What are the chances of that actually working? How well has it worked in schools today? What about using these tools as part of student learning?
