TPACK Model | Digital Learning Futures TPACK Model Description from the project Resources and references provided by the teaching Teachers to the Future (TTF) project. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) conceptual framework espoused by Mishra and Koehler (2006), underpins much of the national directions for describing use of ICT in learning and for profesisonal work. The TPACK framework “attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of teacher knowledge required for technology integration in teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted, and situated nature of this knowledge” (p.1). Specifically it: highlights the nuanced and complex relationships between three forms of knowledge: Pedagogical knowledge (PK), content knowledge (TK); and technological knowledge (TK). The model in a nutshell The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) conceptual framework was described originally by Mishra and Koehler (2006). This framework is represented in the diagram. The digitally literate learner:
The seven secrets behind great teaching - Features - TES Connect Teaching skills: ways to help improve teacher’s effectiveness Comment:3.5 average rating | Comments (46)Last Updated:7 March, 2014Section:Features What makes the good stand out from the rest? Stephen Covey’s business self-help book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has sold more than 15 million copies. The book lists seven principles that, if adopted as habits, can help people become truly effective at what they do. The TES magazine teamed up with business psychologists Crelos to analyse the personalities, motivations and behaviour of 15 award-winning teachers to uncover the seven habits that make them successful in the classroom. How the research worked We chose our research group to represent a cross-section of the teaching population - from teaching assistants, primary and secondary teachers to heads, who were assessed through a series of tests and interviews. 1. For one headteacher, building confidence is part of her personal and professional ethos. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Definición y usos TIC Las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, también conocidas como TIC, son el conjunto de tecnologías desarrolladas para gestionar información y enviarla de un lugar a otro. Abarcan un abanico de soluciones muy amplio. Incluyen las tecnologías para almacenar información y recuperarla después, enviar y recibir información de un sitio a otro, o procesar información para poder calcular resultados y elaborar informes. Las TIC se conciben como el universo de dos conjuntos, representados por las tradicionales Tecnologías de la Comunicación (TC) - constituidas principalmente por la radio, la televisión y la telefonía convencional - y por las Tecnologías de la información (TI) caracterizadas por la digitalización de las tecnologías de registros de contenidos (informática, de las comunicaciones, telemática y de las interfaces). Las TIC nos ofrecen la posibilidad de realizar unas funciones que facilitan nuestros trabajos tales: - Instrumentos para todo tipo de proceso de datos.
What is TPACK? | Teaching Teachers for the Future 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. In the 21st century, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is providing us with new ways to access and process knowledge in every field. ICT is also transforming pedagogy by providing new ways to engage learners. Expert teachers now are those who can bring together knowledge of subject matter, what is good for learning, and technology (ICT).

Module 3.2 Conducting Classroom Observations Module 3.2 CONDUCTING CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS The plan requires that when conducting a classroom observation that a pre-conference and post conference component be included. Faculty members may provide suggested times and classes for the evaluator to observe. Prior to the pre-conference, faculty members are expected to submit a current course syllabus or outline of the class to be observed. This information will be helpful in understanding the focus of the class, the instructional objectives being delivered and the expected student outcomes. On page 6 (hard copy) and Appendix D of the plan details the responsibilities and guidelines for conducting the classroom observation. The Pre-Observation Conference should happen in close proximity to the actual observation date. The evaluator is expected to spend at least 50 minutes observing. Faculty Member :____________________ Date:____________ Date of Observation:_____________ Class/Time:________ 1. 1. a. 1. For First Time Evaluators.
Mind map Diagram to visually organize information A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information into a hierarchy, showing relationships among pieces of the whole.[1] It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas. Mind maps can also be drawn by hand, either as "notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning session, for example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Mind maps are considered to be a type of spider diagram.[2] Differences from other visualizations [edit] Joeran Beel and Stefan Langer conducted a comprehensive analysis of the content of mind maps.[15] They analysed 19,379 mind maps from 11,179 users of the mind mapping applications SciPlore MindMapping (now Docear) and MindMeister.

Technology Integration Matrix | Arizona K12 Center What is the Arizona Technology Integration Matrix? The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells. What is in each cell? Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson.

Breaking The Design Cycle: Get Creative To Be Creative Designers, we have a problem. It seems we have forgotten how to be creative. It is true, the very nature of what we do is based on creativity, however more often than not we tend to be swept away by the latest trends or “what’s hot” rather than seeking out fresh inspiration. “A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion.” – Chinese Proverb There are several reasons for this creativity block in which we are suffering from and in this article I’ll list some of these as well as alternatives for where to find appropriate sources of inspiration. Direct vs. As designers, we are creative– we have to be. Direct Source: Any source of inspiration that is directly associated with the graphic design field, often showcasing published design work. Indirect Source: Any source of inspiration that is not directly related to the graphic design field. Using direct sources of inspiration often leads to duplication.
