Using TPACK as a Framework for Tech PD, Integration and Assessment.

Using TPACK as a Framework for Tech PD, Integration and Assessment.
Henrico County Schools System has adopted the TPACK as the Framework for professional development and 21st Century Learning in the Henrico County Schools System. Henrico County is one of the largest and earliest districts to pioneer and implement a one-to-one initiative. They have adopted this model as its conceptual framework to guide their progress towards the 21st Century Learning. The following video will set the stage to provide insight into how this school district uses technology for relevant and real-world learning. See How Henrico County School District Incorporates Technology into Learning.Henrico 21 Overview from HCPS Instructional Technology on Vimeo. To see more videos visit this link. Below are some essential pieces toward meeting their vision. The TPACK ModelThe TPACK Model was created in response to the need to provide a framework around the important pieces of innovating learning with a focus on Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge. This is a diagram of the model.

My Advice About Teaching with Technology I spent a little time tonight looking back at the classroom blog that I started back during my first full year as a teacher, before I was even accepted in the Pinnacle Technology Leader program that we have in my county. In fact, I had forgotten that I even HAD a blog way back then, but the proof is there! What's interesting to me is comparing the blog I had then to the blog that I had the next year. One reason I love having a personal blog is because it's like a diary of sorts that reminds of those sometimes mundane turned awesome life happenings when memory fails. As is turns out, my classroom and professional blogs work the same way. In looking back at my first classroom blog, it was totally there to distribute information. But then I took a look at the classroom blog that I used the next year, and it had obviously evolved into something more than simply information distribution. But...just like my blog evolved in my 2nd year, so did my other use of technology. And you know what?

46 Tools To Make Infographics In The Classroom Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences). The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency. It’s curious they haven’t really “caught on” in schools considering how well they bridge both the old-form textbook habit of cramming tons of information into a small space, while also neatly overlapping with the dynamic and digital world. So if you want to try to make infographics–or better yet have students make them–where do you start? The 46 tools below, curated by Faisal Khan, are a good place to start.

Selecting the Right Technology Tool: Wikis, Discussion Boards, Journals, and Blogs (Essays on Teaching Excellence) Part Two Selecting the Right Technology Tool: Wikis, Discussion Boards, Journals, and BlogsTami J. Eggleston, McKendree UniversityThe POD Network Teaching Excellence Essay Series, 2010-11 In this essay, Eggleston discusses how daunting many faculty find selecting the right technology tool can be. In this blog post, we’ll expand on Eggleston’s essay and offer you an overview of blogs. What is a blog? Blogs are part of what Randall Bass and Heidi Elmendorf, of Georgetown University, call “social pedagogies.” In “7 Things You Should Know about Blogs,” Educause describes blogs as: An online collection of personal commentary and links. Essentially, a blog is a personal journal published on the web consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. When to use a blog Blogging can be incorporated into the classroom in many different ways. Curious about how instructors are using blogs in their courses? Ready to get started?

Rakenna oma henkilökohtainen oppimisverkosto (PLN). Alustana Twitter. Monet sosiaalisessa mediassa toimivat kokevat, että heidän osaamisensa kehittymisessä yhä keskeisempään rooliin ovat nousseet sosiaalisetverkostot – oman alan asiantuntijat, jotka jakavat, suodattavat ja julkaisevat alan viimeisintä tietoa verkossa. Lähes joka alalta löytyy nykyisin vaikuttajia (”thought leaders”), jotka jakavat blogissaan näkemyksiään, tviittaavat alan uutisia, linkittävät hyödyllisiin resursseihin ja parhaisiin käytäntöihin. Mikä on saanut asiantuntijat kilpailemaan siitä, kuka jakaa eniten? Yksi syy lienee se, että muille hyödyksi oleminen palkitsee Google -näkyvyytenä, ”pöhinänä” sosiaalisessa mediassa ja niiden myötä lopulta ehkä myös parempina työtilaisuuksina. Jos vain harvat tietävät mitä teet ja kuinka hyvä siinä olet, tuskin hukut työtarjouksiin. Vaikka bloggaaminen ei olisi oma juttusi, niin verkostojen avuliaisuudesta kannattaa ainakin ottaa hyöty irti. Henkilökohtainen oppimisverkosto (Personal Learning Network, PLN) Jakaminen perustavanlaatuisinta toimintaa

QR -koodit opetuksessa | Sormet Sormet -opettaja Jenni Koskinen lähestyi mielenkiintoisella ajatuksella, hän on hyödyntänyt - ja haluaa hyödyntää, QR -koodeja opetuksessa. Mielenkiintoinen ajatus olisi esim. QR -koodien käyttö suunnistuksessa rastimerkkeinä. Näin toimittaessa suunnistusrastit muuttuvatkin informatiiviksi ja toiminnallisiksi rasteiksi joissa pitää pelkän leimaamisen sijaan ratkoa esimerkiksi tehtäviä tai perehtyä vaikka alueen kasvityyppeihin. Erittäin mielenkiintoinen ajatus ! QR-koodeihin voisi sijoittaa myös koulun "QR-taululle" ajankohtaisia, mielenkiintoisia uutisia, asioita ja tapahtumia. Tästä mielenkiintoisesta ajatuksesta ja toiminnan etenemisestä voimme toivottavasti lukea lisää SopettajaJenni -blogista. Vihje: Koodin lukemiseen tarvitset jonkun QR -lukija appin ( esim.

Autonomy-support in the classroom George, a high school teacher, looked into the classroom of his colleague Bill and saw, to his amazement, that the students of the class, which had a reputation of being a very difficult class, were quietly working. At lunch break he asked Bill with a surprized smile: "How did you get them to do that, man? I get nothing but trouble from this class. I see no other solution than to get really tough with them. That'll teach them!" Johnmarshall Reeve and his colleagues have done much research into the effects of autonomy-support in schools. This was what I was reminded was when I heard about the conversation between George and Bill. It would be a good thing if more teachers would get the opportunity to learn about autonomy-supportive teaching and if they could experiment with it.
