You can bounce along to the music in this YouTube video as it clearly illustrates life with and without Personal Knowledge Management.

How interactive games and learning conversations may transfer knowledge from one context to another.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge , known for short as TPACK, is a framework used to understand and describe the kinds of knowledge needed by a Teacher for effective pedagogical practice in a technologically enhanced learning environment. The idea of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) was first described by Lee Shulman (1986) and TPACK builds on those core ideas through the inclusion of technology (Wikipedia, 2013).

A reading that is used as part of the Week 4 learning path.

Another optional reading from week 1.

I love the second quote! I find my head hurts if I try too hard to imagine not knowing something. I find as a teacher it really interesting seeing students going from 'I don't understand this' to 'How did I not see this before?'. I love seeing the flash of understanding so I really love that quote!

A small list of examples of how ICT can be used to activate prior knowledge. Part of a activity for the week 3 learning path.

Blog post with a range of resources related to SOSE/social studies.

Passing on information and knowledge are integral parts of today's education. There are huge implications for me as a future teacher since I have to act as a facilitator rather than a transmitter of knowledge. There is no end then in our quest for knowledge in order to be able to fulfil that role successfully.

The three sets of activity types (conceptual knowledge building, procedural knowledge building, and knowledge expression) are presented in the tables that follow, including compatible technologies that may be used to support each type of learning activity. The technologies listed in the tables are meant to be illustrative. The taxonomy authors do not necessarily endorse the specific software titles and/or Web sites listed

A summary of a get together of knowledgeable people about the future of education. Framed as a series of "wicked problems" for education. We may revisit these in later weeks in EDC3100

In response to my own question on twitter earlier, there are indeed programs that allow students to develop their own Apps, thanks to a quick google search. I think this would be a great introduction to the classroom to extend creativity and learn basic knowledge and skills to become innovative creators in the future

Hi I have enjoyed learning about TPACK - although its a term I have never heard before it is something I have started to create in another course. Feel free to have a look at my TPACK post on my blog. I really enjoyed watching the video which gave me a visual cue to reinforce my understanding of what I have just read. http://rebeccalucas.edublogs.org/ict-in-the-21st-century/about-me/tpck/ Bec

"Equitable Use, seeks to maximise the usefulness of design for everyone, identical whenever possible and equivalent when not, so that it avoids segregating or stigmatising any users. Flexibility in Use , values design that accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. Simple and Intuitive Use, seeks to create ease of understanding for users, regardless of their experience, knowledge and language. Perceptible Information, seeks to ensure that design allows information to be communicated effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the userÕs sensory abilities. Tolerance for Error, seeks to minimise hazards and the negative consequences of accidental or unintended actions. Low Physical Effort, seeks to ensure that interaction with the environment can occur efficiently and comfortably and with minimal fatigue. Size and Space for Approach and Use, seeks to maximise approach, reach and manipulation capabilities of users irrespective of their size, posture and mobility."

Blog post reflecting on the comparison between teacher as sage, guide and meddler. Some interesting things to say how we teach.  Will use in lecturer 1 2013 (I think). Also has some interesting references on the benefits of video.

The Internet archive is attempting to provide "universal access to all knowledge". i.e it is storing as much information as it possibly can. You can find movies, audio, books, even websites via the Internet archive.

An online lecture (slides+audio) from Prof Peter Albion (from USQ) for use in the course EDP4130.  In 20 minutes or so Peter gives some background to the changes in society, information availability etc that is - at least for some - suggesting a need for new approaches to knowledge, learning and teaching.  

Interesting article from a pre-service physical education teacher and their experience with pedagogical content knowledge, technology integration, self-efficacy and instructional technology outcomes.
