Perhaps the core of what this course is trying to achieve - develop and bring together knowledge of subject material, good learning and technology
-
I take it you mean the 'core of what this course is trying to achieve' :) and I agree.
-
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.

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.
-
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.

"Over the years, I have seen "the fear" many times. A popular idiom used here in the USA is to compare the signs of that fear to "deer in headlights" The eyes of the technophobe are widened and a form of paralysis sets in as soon as I approach. Although, I emphasize modern teaching, learning and pedagogy, I am perceived as a "technology guru", justifying the terrified look (How could an educator have fear of teaching, learning or pedagogy?)"
Behavior Management Software - ClassDojo - 2 views

This software is currently being used at my children's school. It is like an electronic version of giving out 'stickers', etc for good behaviour. Each day I can see how well my children performed in the classroom and each week a report is generated and emailed to me. This is used in conjunction with an interactive whiteboard, where the children can touch their name/dojo character and give themselves a point for hard work, etc.

Love this idea! I will share with my school too

Magical idea, Luv it. Will save a small fortune for teachers worldwide, as we tend to buy these incentives from our own back pockets in an attempt to engage kids in our classes. Even as a pre-service teacher the little buggers have already cost me......

, it is daily struggle of teachers and administrators coming to me with computer programs and websites that guarantee student growth and engagement – a “Box of Magic,” if you will. Most of these products cannot provide peer-reviewed research that demonstrates the basis for the design of their products

And yet, if your school district has an “ill” there is a vendor ready to sell you a “cure”.
