Expert teachers now are those who can bring together knowledge of subject matter, what is good for learning, and technology (ICT)

djplaner on 07 Mar 13Perhaps the core of what this course is trying to achieve - develop and bring together knowledge of subject material, good learning and technology

Michelle Thompson on 10 Mar 13I take it you mean the 'core of what this course is trying to achieve' :) and I agree.

anonymous on 13 Mar 13We 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 on 17 Mar 13This 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.
