OUTCOMES

1. Reflect on the ways in which you think, plan, and go about technology integration

2. Generalize potential uses of technology through the exploration of specific cases

3. Help you develop a list of free technologies that you and your students can use

THE PK-CK-TK (TPACK) APPROACH

The best teaching and learning occurs when the following are aligned:

Pedagogical knowledge - Methods

Content knowledge - Majors

Technological knowledge

Mishra & Kohler (2006); Schmidt, et al. (2009)

TAKE STOCK BEFORE CHOOSING A TECHNOLOGY

1. Reflect on pedagogical knowledge (PK, methods)– 1.How do my students learn? 2.What methods have I mastered?

2. Reflect on the content (CK, majors)–1.What needs to be taught/learned?2.What is my prior knowledge and understanding of

this?3.What prior knowledge/skills do my students have?

PEDAGOGICAL-CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (PK-CK)

What methods (PK) will help my learners best acquire target skills and content (CK)?

NOW CHOOSE TECHNOLOGY (TK)

1. Find tools that are available to you

2. Select tools that may fit with your PK-CK

3. Determine the best tool for your PK-CK1.Which one am I comfortable with?2.Which one will my students be able to use?3.Which one has the options I/my students will need

to best teach/learn?4.Which one enhances the content of the lesson?

SAMPLE 1 – WRITING FOR A PURPOSE

A skill we would like students to develop

SAMPLE COURSE & STUDENT BACKGROUND

• Course: World History, Language Arts, e.g.

• Students should be able to craft an original piece (CMT LA, CAPT IW)

• How can I support students during each step in the writing process?

• Students are of a variety of ability levels; some have IEPs, 504s, and/or SRBI (RTI) interventions

• How can meet all of my students’ individual needs?

STEPS IN THE WRITING PROCESS
