Think about factors that make up our knowledge.
You may have more than one answer but prioritise...
Tell us the most important one
Nature of teachers’ knowledge & learning (Fisher et.al. 2006)
How do teachers know?
Shulman and Shulman’s Model (2004) Vision Motivation Capability

(Fisher et. al. 2006; Chen, 2012)

EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY??
How do you think technology affects teacher knowledge?
VOXOPOP (an online message board)
Do you use web tools in your teaching?

Effect of Technology : Brief description of constructs in the 'TPACK framework from Mishra and Koehler (2006) in Graham, 2011.
Technological knowledge
knowledge of operating systems and computer hardware, and the ability to use standard sets of software tools such as word processors, spreadsheets, browsers,...etc.)
Technological pedagogical knowledge
knowledge of how teaching might change as the result of using particular technologies
Technological Content Knowledge
knowledge about how technology and content are related.
Technological pedagogical content knowledge
TPCK
the basis of good teaching with technology• teach content• how technology can help readress some of the
problems that students face• knowledge of students’ prior knowledge • and knowledge of how technologies can be used
to build on existing knowledge and to develop new methods or strengthen old ones.” (p. 1029)
What do teachers know?
A technological pedagogical content knowledge scale (Yurdakul et.al. 2012)
The purpose of this section is to gather information about combining technology, pedagogy and content knowledge in the teaching and learning process. For each item choose only one option that best describes you.

1 I can use technology to develop activities based on students needs to enrich the teaching and learning process.
2 I can implement effective classroom management in the teaching and learning process in which technology is used.
3 I can use technology for implementing educational activities such as homework, projects, etc.
4 I can use technology based communication tools ( blog, froum, chat, e-mail, etc. ) in the teaching process.
5 I can use innovative technologies ( facebook, blogs, twitter, podcastingi etc.) to support the teaching and learning process.
6 I can use technology to update my knowledge and skilss in the area that I will teach.
7 I can troubleshoot problems that could be encountered with online educational environments ( Moodle, Web CT, etc)
8 I can use technology in every phase of the teaching and learning process by considering the copyright issues(e.g. licence) Ican become a leader in spreading the use of technological innovations in my future teaching community.
TPACK is:
Knowing how to present the subject matter with technology in pedagocially sound ways
So & Kim, 2009
A teacher’s knowledge of how to coordinate and combine the use of subject-specific activities and topic-specific activities using emerging technologies to facilitate student learning
Cox&Graham ,2009
TPACK is not simply:....adding technology to existing teaching and content...
Yurdakul et al,2011
INTERACTION BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL TECH & TEACHER DEVELOPMENT The “new” models of staff development study groups, teacher networks, mentoring relationships, committee or task force, internship, individual research project, or teacher resource center (Alberta Commission on Learning, 2006; Birman et al.,
2000; Sikora & Alexander, 2004).
INTERACTION BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL TECH & TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
Other promising adult learning environments include
exchange of information, collaborative work, critical thinking, active/exploratory/inquiry-based learning,
informed decision-making, and authentic, real-world context (ISTE
&Thomas, 2007).

Back to teacher knowledge& learning; «being ready, willing and able»In conclusion, considering the examples,How can digital technologies support;1) the development of teachers’ vision for
education?2) teachers’ motivation to learn and
develop their practice?3) teachers’ professional knowledge,
understanding and practice?4) teachers' reflection?5) teachers’ learning in the community?
