TPCK
When I was reading through "Extending the conversation: New Technologies, New Literacies, and English Education" by Swenson et al. I was surprised that the topic of TPCK came up because that is something I have learned about before. I like the idea of TPCK. This approach asks that you first focus on the pedagogy and the content for your lesson, then once those parts are worked out look to the technology. After you have the basis of the content and lesson you try to gear some kind of technology into the lesson. And you do not simply add technology just because you can; you want to add technology to improve the lesson. I believe this is an excellent approach to adding technology into your classroom effectively!

I like this idea also, I am in that class now and we just learned about it, I like how they show it all coming together in the diagram because I think every part is important to accomplish the other, and you need every part in order to be able to do the next. I am so glad you mentioned TPCK, and how it relates to two classes in our major.
ReplyDeleteThis is an extension on the theory of backwards design by Wiggins and McTighe (who I think, were referenced in the article.) I like that you all value this because it is important to use technology to enhance learning...not just to use it for the sake of using it. I just wrote a post about that if you are interested.
