TPACK in 3 Minutes - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    TPACK Venn Diagram in 3 minutes describing the 7 categories seen on the model.
  •  
    Keith's video "TPACK in 3 minutes" did a lovely job of summing up the TPACK framework in a few words with great examples. The speaker makes it a point to explain "context" within the TPACK model and how it is implemented. He states that the model will look very different depending on the perspective (corporate vs. teacher) and grade level (elementary vs high school/college). I think one of the driving forces is the realization and understanding by many teachers that implementing useful technology - in the context of what their teaching- is necessary to accommodate the students' needs regardless of if the teacher is technology smart or not. However, this is where I think the resistant force sets in as well. Even though TPACK is a package where each of the 3 domains work together, I think that teachers find it overwhelming or very "sudden" and big of a change that it makes some of them feel uneasy to fully adopt it. This goes with what Stephen had stated in a previous post- that maybe the best way to approach this framework is to have teachers take baby steps.

    Thank you very much for sharing this link. The creator of this video does a very good job of explaining what TPACK is and demonstrating the dotted line for context was a nice addition to the TPACK model. A few other things I am taking from this video is that it shows the power of the internet. I think this teacher did this video in one take, which means he did not spend time editing or retaking what he was doing. I have a feeling this was created in about 15 minutes after setting up the camera, gathering materials and planning in his mind what he would say. This 15 minutes of effort has been watched over 5,000 times since its upload a little over one year ago. In this day and age, 5,000 views on Youtube might not seem like that much, but twenty years ago speaking to 5,000 people on a subject would almost be unimaginable. The power of online video is something I am taking from this course.

Thorough TPACK definition and examples - 0 views

  •  
    This video is long, but it breaks down all parts of TPACK and provides examples. This video stresses the importance of using the TPACK model to solve "wicked" problems. The presenter also discusses the importance of creativity in this process. There are many great examples provided in the video. My favorite example was about the third grade teacher who used technology to enhance students understanding of maps. The class took a trip to DC and used cameras and mapping software to record their journey. The main points of the video are: teaching with technology is a wicked problem, wicked problems require creative solutions, and that teachers are the designers of the Total PACKage, and that solutions need to be novel, effective, and whole,

    I have shared this with my technology integrated group, since we has cited TPACK as the basis for our school's program. This video does a beautiful job of conveying this information and I hope we use this to assist our staff as we struggle to implement technology uses for learning. I particularly like the acknowledgment of the difficult nature of this. The humorous nature of the presentation along with depth of scholarly foundation contained is excellent!

100 Best YouTube Videos for Science Teachers - 1 views

  •  
    I don't have too many go to sites yet (I hope that improves in the near future) but I did run across this compilation of youtube videos related to science that I think will be helpful in the future. Given some of them are way too basic to use, but there used to be really cool look inside the cell type stuff. The original site shut down so I had to find where someone else posted the links on their blog so my apologizes if you can not access it at this time.

    Hey Eric- Thanks for posting this website- I was looking through the videos and happen to come across some that I think might be useful for me when I start teaching very soon!

TPACK Framework - 2 views

    Great video that explains the concepts of TPACK in a more simplistic manner. I think is does a great job of showing how not integrating such a model could harm our current/future learners- learners of the 21st century.

    Favorite Line: "integrating these three knowledge areas is a WICKED problem ( a big problem) ... wicked problems require creative solutions, you need to be a designer of the total (t)PACKage..."

    This is a beautiful presentation, and I know it's purpose is not to teach you everything about TPACK, but you also don't want to dishearten learners or veteran teachers with overloading them with what they should be doing. If I told everyone right now that by next Friday you all should be playing golf and be good at it, most of you would look at me and say no way or I cannot. If I said I want to show you how to putt a golf ball one day, then the next day we are going to work on chipping a golf ball... I am slowly building the foundation of playing golf. For TPACK to work with teachers who are not tech savvy, you have to slowly build the foundation. Maybe designate one piece of technology, and for some it might be something as simple as a digital camera, and properly work that into a lesson. If you want all teachers to be successful using the TPACK model, baby steps might be needed for some, just like some of our students need baby steps and others hit the classroom running in full stride.

    The video "TPACK Framework" definitely portrays the most important message of TPACK which is successful implementation of TPACK is not an easy process; rather it is a process that will require creativity from teachers. I really like what Stephen stated with his golf analogy and I feel like the video is great for teachers who are new to the framework by explaining TPACK in a very simple format: you need to have knowledge of the content you are teaching, knowledge of how to effectively teach as well as creative ideas of how you will use technology to tie in the content effectively. Through this video, I can see how the subject being taught can be considered as a resistant force to the framework. It is absolutely possible to apply TPACK in every content area however I feel that it is easier or more obvious to apply it in science curriculum as oppose to language arts (I am in no way saying that it is impossible). In order to make TPACK successful introducing teachers to this framework and ensuring them that is okay if they run into a brick wall because this not a 1-2-3 fix and it will require creative solutions.

    Eight minute video that defines and explains implications of STEM. Created & Posted by nwpaworkforce. 9 Feb 2011

    I think this is a good video that students can relate too. Nice find!

    Anna - this is something that I think teachers should show their students, even if there is no STEM curriculum in effect. I love how the students described something very practical- like playing video games- to show how each of the four disciplines are intertwined.

IDEA " You make me sick! Online game teaches science to middle schoolers - 1 views

  •  
    One of the newest and greatest innovations continues to be video games. In the past, educational games have never quite met expectations, but with grants and contests such as this one, hopefully the games improve and students can learn something while playing video games.

    Wow! This game is very informative and fun. I'm interested to see more games like this. There are way too many educational games that aren't enjoyable. This one hits the mark!
  •  
    This looks like a great tool for kids today- especially considering how attached some kids are to games. Children need to know how they get sick and what is going on inside of them when they are sick. One concern I have is that the game may be giving the message that all bacteria are bad and will make them sick. This is a common misconception that has led to the over use of antibiotics and hand sanitizer. Children should be taught that although some bacteria are pathogens, most are not, and they actually help other animals (ie. Humans) carry out every day functions. Bacteria ≠ Pathogen.

    About four years ago, I went to a facility planners conference and they said the most improperly used space in the school is the library. It should not be filled with stacks of books, but it should look more like a media center where you have gaming centers, areas for public wi-fi access and a small section for books, but it would not be the dominant feature of the media center. It would also not close with the school, but be an area that would be open to the general public after hours. We will probably not build another school in Spotsylvania in the next decade, but it will be interesting to see if divisions will be starting to convert what we currently see as a library into something else.

    Wow. It's interesting to see how local schools are currently using STEM. There are lots of good things in this video. It almost makes me want to teach highschool.
  •  
    I completely agree with Tristan, it is always awesome to see stuff that we talk about in our coursework being implemented in the field. I feel like sometimes important topics to me are forgotten when we translate them into teaching in the classroom, but this proves me wrong. And makes me feel great about the future of STEM education.
  •  
    I had never heard of "STEM" until a Chesterifield CPS principal mentioned it. I had to stop her and ask what "STEM" was, which, as a scientist, was very embarrassing. I think it is great that CCPS has embraced the synergistic effect of STEM subjects functioning together. Awesome!

    GREAT website for computer simulation of the inside of a typical cell, how mitochondria function,, and more! The Harvard team puts together great videos to show in class. I use these as a G.A. to show that although the 2D diagrams in the text book are static, in fact the cell is moving constantly. Great resource for the biology classroom.

    Thank you for posting this. As an old science teacher, what I am seeing is the Scientific Process being expanded upon in this article. As teachers, teaching students to be thinkers and not regurgitators of facts is very important. I would much rather a student understand the process of "if I do A to B and C happens, but I wanted D to happen, what do I need to adjust to A and B to get the result I want." Rather than spitting out D happens when you do a to B. It is also interesting to see him mentioning at the top that the arts make STEM "sizzle" when you see what is happening at UVA.
  •  
    It is interesting to see how STEM is being looked at in other places. One thing in the article, that I haven't heard someone else stress, is the importance of empathy. I think that empathy would ensure that the students would maintain interest in a topic. However, the article makes me wonder what curriculum will look like in the future if we make these changes. Certainly, different children in different places will have different interests and will want to learn about different things, which is fine, but will be difficult with the current system of standards. I also think that teaching and learning will be done in different "teams" rather than traditional classes where all subjects are compartmentalized and divided. Another interesting point, in one of the videos, was how the students should do the investigation and research rather than the teacher. I think this is a fundamental part of project based learning.

Earth Science - Creative Lessons for both kids (K-8) and educators! - 2 views

  •  
    This site provides lessons on a wide array of earth science topics that kids can access at home which includes interactive videos, games, activities and lessons. It also provides great resources for teachers that can help foster creative lessons with the content. The website is a little confusing at first because each link (topic) will redirect you to another website (i.e. National Geographic) but it exposes you to different approaches to teaching the content.
  •  
    Wow! There is a lot of information on this link directly related to Earth Science. I am currently going through each link and writing down notes to help me with some of my future lectures. Thanks so much for the link that brings it all together so that I don't have to have a search overload for some of these great resources!

Can Smartphones Make Kids Smarter? | Education.com - 0 views

  •  
    For my undergrad, one of my professor's was working on a smart phone app to help with Dendrology for students currently learning the extremely boring subject. It's a really cool idea, and caused me to be very interested in a wide variety of education related apps on my smartphone. I think smart phones has the potential to take education the next mile, but much like video games they need the extra little push to help accomplish stem education.
