    I found this clip inspiring as it highlights simple uses of ICTs within the classroom. Prompting further thought of how they could be meaningfully intergrated within the curriculum.

    I agree with you Rosemary I found this clip very interesting, it has some great ideas. I have used the web quest in two classes on prac. They had some very surprising results about the knowledge that year eleven student have of the world outside the class room, some had no idea were to go to catch a plane or how to get there.

TPACK teaching education

shared by Anna Murphy on 07 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Expert teachers now are those who can bring together knowledge of subject matter, what is good for learning, and technology (ICT)
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 07 Mar 13
       
      Perhaps the core of what this course is trying to achieve - develop and bring together knowledge of subject material, good learning and technology

      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.
    • Kate Petty

      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.
    • Michelle Thompson
      Michelle Thompson on 10 Mar 13
       
      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.
    • Holly Hawkings
      Holly Hawkings on 10 Mar 13
       
      I love this first sentence too, it is so meaningful and fully grasps the importance of being a great teacher versus an ok teacher. 
    • Faeza ms
      Faeza ms on 13 Mar 13
       
      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.
    • Kate Petty
      Kate Petty on 17 Mar 13
       
      Faeza, your comment about transforming content to meet individual needs struck a cord with me.  Thanks.

  • In each case, the expert teacher needs to make creative links between what is being learned (content), how it is taught (pedagogy), and the appropriate tools (technology).
    • Michelle Thompson

      Absolutely, this is the crux of what we should be doing as educators - not just trying to make it fun, but fulfil the curricula requirements in such a way that it is engaging and meets standards.
    • Holly Hawkings
      Holly Hawkings on 10 Mar 13
       
      I also think that this underpins exactly what we need to do as teacher, to be able to create engaging and interactive lessons that not only meet the criteria of the curricular but are interesting and useful for the students using methods that excite and engage. 
    • Sue Day
      Sue Day on 12 Mar 13
       
      The last part of this statement,to me, means constructing knowledge by building on learning that has already taken place- using engaging and age appropriate tools.
    • Faeza ms
      Faeza ms on 13 Mar 13
       
      I find the idea of finding an appropriate tool for the task to be crucial. An appropriate tool will engage and enhance the learning experience, an inappropriate tool could lead to negative experiences and negative attitudes towards technology.
    • Vicky Heng
      Vicky Heng on 17 Mar 13
       
      Yes, this is exactly what educators today need to do! However, I think it's going to be a challenging one. It needs experiences and effort to make this happens in our teaching.

      I think the Possum Magic Video demonstrates a creative use of technology that makes learning engaging and fun for students and teachers!
  • In each case, the expert teacher needs to make creative links between what is being learned (content), how it is taught (pedagogy), and the appropriate tools (technology)
  • ICT is also transforming pedagogy by providing new ways to engage learners.
    • Holly Hawkings
      Holly Hawkings on 10 Mar 13
       
      I think this shows the importance of ICT in teacher and how all teachers should be looking and engaging in ways to integrate ICT into their teaching.
    • Candace Merriman
      Candace Merriman on 11 Mar 13
       
      To me, this suggests that while ICT continues to transform, the current teachers and up-coming teachers such as ourselves have to modify our teaching pedagogy to incorporate these ICT's to engage the students and get them excited to learn through integrating the 'new' technology devices
    • Amanda Stokes

      ICT I feel it the way of the future, technology is always evolving and change and we must do the same. If this means changing the way in which we educate the students then that is what we must do. I am learning so many new things with this course and feel that Im beginging to learn new ways in which I can enrich the students learning.

    1. Interesting to me in a sense that this teacher uses a lot of creative resources in her classroom, incorporates ICT's (the wide web) to share with other teachers - which is helpful in a sense of gathering knowledgable and creative resources. Gives lots of insights into the classroom, and shares life as a teacher - and the resources she uses for her students in the classroom.

    Down under teacher is an Australian teacher's blog if the title has not gave it away for you. It appears to be particularly focused towards the Early Primary setting. She also experienced great difficulty getting in touch with other Australian teachers so you will find she has created a tab and encouraged other Australian teacher's to come forward with the names of their blogs.
