    What happened to the old television learning curve when the most complex factors had to do with rabbit ear positioning? Technology has inundated us with great tools and given us access to heaps of information. But it's also burying us under an avalanche of options. For certain products, I can take the easy way out. My friend Isaac is one of those rare people who loves doing the research. If I need a new camera, I just call him. But even then, it's a challenge to get a simple answer without being confronted with a list of possible features.

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)
    • djplaner
       
      Perhaps the core of what this course is trying to achieve - develop and bring together knowledge of subject material, good learning and technology
    • Michelle Thompson
       
      I take it you mean the 'core of what this course is trying to achieve' :) and I agree.
    • anonymous
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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. 
    • Michelle Brown
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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.
    • Kellie Quirk
       
      This is such a powerful statement and really cements the importance of integrating ICT's into our teaching and learning. It is the way forward for engaging students and enhancing their learning journeys
    • Kate Petty
       
      Engaging learners in new ways, and ways that suit their individual needs, is the heart of what using ITCs to transform teaching and learning is all about.
    • Margaret Johnson
       
      it has transformed pedagogy by enabling learning to be inclusive
  • deep knowledge of how ICT can be used to access and process subject matter (TCK) and understanding how ICT can support and enhance learning (TPK) in combination with PCK

    "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."

    A program where you can 'create and share your own interactive stories, games, music, and art'.
  •  
    The first week at uni we started to use a program called Scratch. This program can be used for teachers and students at any level. It is also has free membership. The first activity that we were required to do was to use the motion button to create simple commands to move the script (the cat). The next part of the activity was to make a sequence of commands. This included the moving the script 10 step and then having the script turn around in a clockwise direction at 15 degrees. The number of steps and the degrees can be changed to suit the way you want the script to move. The next activity was to use the simple commands and have them repeat the commands over and over until you stop the command. We also learnt how to have the script change colour while the command sequence was going. The next activity was to draw regular polygons. The first polygon that was drawn was a square. The next challenge was to create other polygons. This program is great to work with. I had some time just to play, adding backgrounds, pictures and sounds. The goal for using this scratch program at uni is to explore options for introducing digital technologies and related concepts in the primary school classroom, as the Technology curriculum is being introduced sometime this year (2013). This program would fall under the Digital Technologies strand in the Australian curriculum: Technologies. This is where students will engage in the components of digital systems: software, hardware and networks.

Believers use a range of practices (including silence and stillness, and praying with icons and images) for preparing the body and the mind for meditative prayer, and engaging in the ‘work of meditation’. Christian iconography expresses in images the same Gospel message that Scripture communicates by words. Praying with scripture is a form of meditative prayer in the Christian tradition. There are a variety of ways to pray with scripture, including Lectio Divina (Benedictine tradition) and Ignatian Meditation.
  • Religious Knowledge and Deep Understanding The beliefs, values and practices of early Church communities (c.6 BCE - c. 650 CE) were influenced by ancient Mediterranean societies such as Greece, Rome and Egypt. Recurring broad patterns of historical change (namely Construction: Searching for Unity, Order and Authenticity; Deconstruction: Challenges to Unity, Order and Authenticity; Reconstruction: Restoring unity, order and authenticity) are evident in the story of the early Church as it came to understand its nature and role in the world.

  • Religious Knowledge and Deep Understanding Grace is the gift of God that enables people to overcome sin; to love, believe and hope in God and grow in goodness. The Church names this work of grace ‘justification’. Virtues are attitudes and dispositions that guide people to ‘do good and avoid evil’. In Christian teaching, the cardinal (pivotal) virtues are prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. Living a virtuous life - ‘doing good’ - requires knowledge and understanding, practice and perseverance.
  • sisted by the Holy Spirit, the Church draws on the teaching of Jesus and its living Tradition to respond to emerging moral questions. Catholic social teaching proposes principles for reflection, provides criteria for judgment and gives guidelines for action. A consistent theme in Catholic social teaching is that the good of people be the criterion in making moral judgments about social and economic structures.

The Eucharist is a means of reconciliation and forgiveness of sins as expressed through prayers and actions in the Mass (e.g. penitential rite, eucharistic prayer and prayers before communion, sign of peace). Eucharist is the primary and indispensable source of nourishment for the spiritual life of believers.
  • In a time of great challenge and change (c.1918 CE to the present), the Church had to respond philosophically and theologically to unprecedented threats to both human ecology and environmental ecology from science, technology, materialism, consumerism and political ideologies. The Church’s philosophical and theological responses involved rethinking and reforming its cultural influence, political influence, social structure, roles and relationships, economic power and evangelising mission.
