Our Stories
Technology has impacted our lives as learners and who we are becoming.
Your Stories
1. Introduce yourselves and what you do.
2. Share your best story of a time you or someone else integrated technology well. What is becoming clearer?
3. If you could change one thing …
Emerson and Thoreau reunited would ask-
“What has become clearer to you since we last met?”
TPACK is a framework that combines three knowledge areas. 1. Content knowledge2. Pedagogical knowledge3. Technological knowledge
We look at the as the what. It’s the subject matter we are teaching.
We look at pedagogical knowledge as theEvery teacher has tools - direct instruction, modeling, graphic organizer, inquiry based group discussion, debate, think pair-share, collaborative
The third area is technology because it’s the partner. tool will be selected to make the content more accessible, while supporting pedagogical strategies which have been identified to help deliver the information?
Laptop, Smartboard, iPad, google, virtual manipulatives, camera, etc.
Why TPACK?
Learning how to use technology is much different than knowing what to do with it for instructional purposes
Redesigning instruction requires an understanding of how knowledge about content, pedagogy, and technology overlap to inform your choices for curriculum and instruction
7 Pieces of the TPACK Pie
Content [CK]: subject matter to be learnedTechnology [TK]: foundational and new technologiesPedagogy [PK]: purpose, values & methods used to teach and evaluate learning
PCK: What pedagogical strategies make concepts difficult or easy to learn? TCK: How is content represented and transformed by the application of technology? TPK: What pedagogical strategies enable you to get the most out of existing technologies for teaching & evaluating learning?
• Content focus: What content does this lesson focus on?• Pedagogical focus: What pedagogical practices are
employed in this lesson? • Technology used: What technologies are used? • PCK: Do these pedagogical practices make concepts clearer and/or foster deeper
learning? • TCK: Does the use of technology help represent the content in diverse ways or
maximize opportunities to transform the content in ways that make sense to the learner?
• TPK: Do the pedagogical practices maximize the use of existing technologies for teaching and evaluating learning?
• TPCK:How might things need to change if one aspect of the lesson were to be different or not available?
TPACK Guidelines
How do you do it?-- TPACK and Understanding by Design
Teacher and Students as Co-Curriculum Designers
1. What do you want to know and be able to do at the end of this activity, project, or lesson?
2. What evidence will you collect to prove mastery? (What will you create or do)
3. What is the best way to learn what you want to learn?
4. How are you making your learning transparent? (connected learning)
● Design a learning experience that is engaging and worthwhile to both student & teacher
● Plan with the essential features that includeo the use of appropriate technology o in a particular content area o as part of a pedagogical strategy o within a given educational context o to develop students’ knowledge of a particular topic
or meet an educational objective or student need
● Content - o focus on important knowledge o create a ‘need to know’
● Pedagogy - o use instructional tools to go deeper in the learningo think inquiry
● Integrate tool - o technology is used to accelerate and deepen the quality of
learning--not all at once, but over time.o remember students want ito if it’s available 24/7-- then make it purposefulo create real life problem solving that is meaningful & relevant
Civil War Voice Wall● What key figures or events
significantly contributed or were considered the turning point or defining moment of the Civil War?
● Three phases: research, writing, production
● Use story draft/images to create documentary using iMovie
● Technology includes iPad or Netbook, research sites, Google Doc, iMovie, Photo Booth
Great Pacific Garbage Patch● What is it? ● How does it harm wildlife? ● How does the ban on plastic
bags impact the patch? What are the benefits?
● Student groups produce commercial (using iMovie) promoting the ban of plastic bags in their own city
● Technology includes Edmodo or Google Doc, research sites, iPads, iMovie

Connected Learner Scale
Share (Publish & Participate) –
Connect (Comment and Cooperate) –
Remixing (building on the ideas of others) –
Collaborate (Co-construction of knowledge and meaning) –
Collective Action (Social Justice, Activism, Service Learning)
TPACK in PracticeStep 1- Best Practice
Researchers at Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) have identified nine instructional strategies that are most likely to improve student achievement across all content areas and across all grade levels. These strategies are explained in the book Classroom Instruction That Works by Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane Pollock.
1. Identifying similarities and differences2. Summarizing and note taking3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition4. Homework and practice5. Nonlinguistic representations6. Cooperative learning7. Setting objectives and providing feedback8. Generating and testing hypotheses9. Cues, questions, and advance organizers
What are specific strategies you use in your classroom for a particular discipline?
Step 2- What Tool Fits?
Pick the Content
Choose the Strategy
Choose the Tool
Create the Learning Activity
Then apply connected learner scale
