I find the TPACK model to be a little confusing, mostly because it has so many differnt sub-components. from what I can gather, though, the TPACK model shows that technology must be used and integr...

    Segments that particularly jumped out: - "there are three main components of teachers' knowledge: content, pedagogy, and technology. Equally important to the model are the interactions between and among these bodies of knowledge, represented as PCK, TCK (technological content knowledge), TPK (technological pedagogicalknowledge), and TPACK." -"Many approaches to teachers' professional development offer a one-size-fits-all approach to technology integration when, in fact, teachers operate in diverse contexts of teaching and learning." -"three key components of teacher knowledge: understanding of content, understanding of teaching, and understanding of technology. The complexity of technology integration comes from an appreciation of the rich connections of knowledge among these three components and the complex ways in which these are applied in multifaceted and dynamic classroom contexts."

    TPACK Venn Diagram in 3 minutes describing the 7 categories seen on the model.
  • Dipali Patel on 01 Jun 12
     
    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.

      Students in schools from all over the world can enter scientific data.  This is a great way to truly integrate technology with education - students can do "real science" and collaborate with their "colleagues" from other countries.  Great for biology, earth science, environmental science, etc.

    Great resource if you have students needing makeup or home-bound. Virtual Chemistry Experiments are a collection of interative web-based chemistry tutorials. The tutorials employ Physlets and Chemistry Applets to simulate experiments or depict molecular and atomic structure. The guiding concept is to involve the read in making observations and acquiring data, and then using this information to draw conclusions and infer chemical principles.

    I was a T.A. for a genetics lab course in college, and after an unexpected fruit fly massacre after they had made their second generation crosses I turned their lab into a virtual experiment like this one. These virtual chemistry experiments could be useful, just in case something malfunctions! Thanks for the good site.

    What do you guys think "virtual experiments" do better than real ones?
  • Tristan C on 23 May 12
     
    They are cheaper and safer. I like the idea of virtual field trips. Some of them are ok. They aren't always entirely directed at an SOL though.
  • Anna S on 25 May 12
     
    I find these are best as additional to traditional lab experiences or, as I posted earlier, I use these for the students that can't be at school for usual labs. Understanding limitations of their own lab technique and evaluation of errors does not occur with simulations. Similar to difference between multiple choice assessment and free response.
  • Eric Byers on 28 May 12
     
    I agree with Anna, virtual experiments wouldn't be my first choice in methodology for lab experiments, but there are somethings that you just, can't do in the classroom. Whether it is from limited resources, limited class time, or simply the experiment is too dangerous for the classroom, virtual experiments are a good alternative. I had a chemistry professor in my undergrad who was making a dvd textbook with lectures and experiments and there was a lot of cool experiments on the dvd that he would have never been able to do during his lectures.

    Innovation to me is the enhancement of education using customized tools. Recently, there has been great buzz about promoting SMART technologies- a collaborative leaning software that accommodates a variety of learning styles- promoting varied instruction. The SMART notebook collaborative learning software is the world's leading lesson creation software that opens options for interactive lessons that support student-centered learning. Of the vast technologies within this field I seemed to find SMART boards as a very innovative tool for classroom instruction. A SMART board is basically an interactive white board that allows teachers to project a website or image from the laptop to the white board. These SMART boards are capable of storing and saving lessons as well as turning simple lessons into more interactive and customized ones geared to enhance student learning. I think this application is more useful in disciplines such as Science because science changes all the time and has the ability to be much "active" using the web- this is not to say that it cannot be useful in the other disciples however.

    Thinkport is a product used in Maryland to help integrate technology in the classroom. The specific link that I am attaching is simulations of a multitude of subjects that could be incorporated into any lecture or free time that the student has. The topics covered vary from mathematics, an interactive art museum, anatomy, construction of different satellites, to literacy skills. It's goal is to increase technology use in the classroom regardless of the subject matter.

    It looks like UVA has a rather large K-12 Engineering Outreach. Reading through the material it looks like the only stuff available outside of the adjacent counties is through virtual or their teaching kits. Either way it could be pretty cool. And maybe with enough persistence, you could get an outreach to your school from some of the undergrads at UVA.
