The article calls for viewing PCK as neither a subcategory of subject matter (subject matter knowledge for teaching) nor as a general generic form of knowledge. It presents a view of PCK as a collection of teacher professional constructions, as a form of knowledge that preserves the planning and wisdom of practice that the teacher acquires when repeatedly teaching a certain topic

Avoiding the ICT trapStudents encounter ICT in many areas of their lives and it is essential that we provide them with opportunities to explore the technology and encourage them to use it as a learning tool. However it is important that teachers avoid the trap of using technology for the sake of it, or in order to check the technology box on their faculty registration sheet, or as an add-on to a lesson.

Literacy in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is fundamental to life in our modern technological society. To equip students to be literate life long learners and global citizens of the 21st century we must successfully integrate ICT into both the English curriculum and English pedagogical practice.ICT is a valuable tool to enhance teaching and learning. For teachers ICT is a professional resource, a mode of classroom delivery, and a source of valid and valuable text types. For students, ICT provides opportunities to communicate more effectively and to develop literacy skills including skills in critical literacy. It is a valuable tool for researching, composing and responding, and viewing and representing in English.

The use of ICT in our schools, is a great way to engage children that are disengaged from learning in the classroom
-
I agree, there are many children that find the ability to engage with subject content when it is delivered in innovative ways. This can also be a way of distracting students from learning, taking students away from composing written pieces and being distracted by the aesthetics of presentation mode.

I am starting to understand how ICTs can be and powerful tool in the classroom after having a mostly negative perception of ICTs in classrooms. It's important for educators to demonstrate and model to students how ICTs can be used to build/ share knowledge and understanding - being used in smart ways.

Technology in education: if students aren't worried, why are teachers? | Teacher Network | Guardian Professional - 2 views

Third, and most importantly, it requires us to shift the power of learning from the teacher to the student; to become the facilitator for learning rather than the deliverer of knowledge and in so doing, to let students lead their own learning. That is a very disturbing prospect for many educators – and parents – because it's all about relinquishing control and taking risks.

SpeEdChange: Changing Gears 2012: rejecting the "flip" - 2 views

From the 1890s until World War II homework was consistently highly controversial, with laws against it (California 1901 among many others),
-
omework is a link from school to home that keeps parents informed about what the school is teaching, gives them a chance to participate in their children's schooling, and helps to keep the schools accountable to parents. Not to assign homework is to exclude parents from playing an active role in their children's academic development."
-
I hear this quote so often but I really believe if the parents want to be involved in the children's learning, they need to spend time in their child's learning environment.
-
Here, here, I so agree with you Jackie so often parents only find themselves in school to make a complaint or the like never have I seen a parent just wanting to spend time in their childs classroom just to see. It would be beneficial for all if there were time when this could happen.
-
Connections with parents is important. In fact, it's one of the AITSL professional standards. But I wonder why parents don't spend more time in their child's classroom? I'm sure there would be many parents (but perhaps not all) who want to be more involved with their child's education, but who can't for various reasons. I wonder if we can make it easier for them to be involved?
-
Actually, entirely by accident I came across this post from Nicola's blog http://nixxuni.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/using-technology-to-inform-parents/

Our students deserve more imaginative thinking than that. And all of our students deserve an educational environment which moves us toward equality of opportunity, not further away from that.
-
Equality is something that would be missed in a flipped classroom. With the cost of living increasing not all families are going to afford the technology that a flipped classroom requires students to have access to at home.
-
Wouldn't lack of equality be bridged if the students who didn't have access to the internet went to school early or stayed back a bit later to listen to the videos. If there was supervision, what difference would it make being at school or at home for the video presentation?
-
I agree with a comment made above too, that maybe the school day needs to be re-arranged if a flipped classroom pedagogy is going to be introduced - give students time during normal school hours to watch the videos then have the classroom discussion

Does the Khan Academy know how to teach? - The Washington Post - 5 views
-
Gates has called Khan, "the best teacher I've ever seen.
-
An example of some of the large claims being made about Khan Academy that seem to suggest limited understanding of what makes a good teacher?
-
This is an interesting one - how can a teacher be hailed as such, when there is no real interaction (questioning from the student's point of view)? The Khan Academy does have its advantages as a very useful prop to specific lessons and concepts, yet the questions posed by any learner should be equally important if effective learning is to take place.
-
I agree Doreen, furthermore, the Khan Academy cannot be used as a stand alone to teaching, yet as a tool to extend understanding or to reteach concepts
-
It is a useful tool I agree. Students need to have an understand of a variety of ways/strategies/methods to draw upon in order to gain a full understand of the concepts.
-
Interesting to see Bill Gates making a reference to teaching skills. Last I checked he wasn't an expert in education?!
-
I don't get why they are making reference to Bill Gates I don't believe he has an understanding of teaching. Although these online library can help with understanding but is it really the way we want education to go online teaching??
-
I belive that the reference to Gates arises from the fact that he's spending a lot of his money attempting to improve schools and universities. That money means that his views on what is good teaching carry significant weight. More so than his qualifications and experience might otherwise warrant.

-
What is more, his videos reveal an ignorance of how we know students learn mathematics.
-
The Khan Academy videos suffer from the poor PCK of the people developing the videos. The core of the argument here.
-
The videos were started to help students who were already learning through the school system and needed more help without having to pay for it. A lot of people are complaining about the videos as alternatives to explicit teaching in the classroom, but aren't they great for what they were originally designed for.
-
I don't think the Khan videos are doing any damage...They shouldn't be used as a stand alone, but instead as a supplement for learning, perhaps.
-
I think the videos are great as a supplementary activity, it provides a different way to explain something. Good on him for attempting it.
-
I like David's comment: videos aren't actually evidence of the Khan academy, just "the poor PCK of the people developing the videos.".

Pedagogical content knowledge is an important foundation for planning lessons and for decision making during a lesson.
