#twitterchat: Why Teachers Like Learning Models

#twitterchat: Why Teachers Like Learning Models | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - December 10, 2014 9:32 PM

"

"Recently, #cohort21 hosted a twitter chat on a topic near and dear to our hearts: learning models and frameworks.

We have our own ideas about what they’re so important, but this isn’t about us, is it?

This being 2014, the #twitterchat conversation, of course, quickly turned to SAMR and TPACK, and educators shared their favorite versions, how they used them, and what future needs in the space might be. Archived twitter chats make for wonderful quick reads, and can include some gems (the Starbucks analogy, for example), so, here you go. #twitterchat: Why Teachers Like Learning Models, all in one place."

Beth Dichter's insight:

What happens when you host a twitter chat the the topic turns to learning models and frameworks? Check out this post that takes a twitter chat that discussed this topic and then storified the discussion.

If you don't know about SAMR (check out the image above) or TPACK you may find posts in this Scoop.it on each (just type in the keyword). And you may find yourself participating in one of these twitter chats down the road!

TPACK Case Studies

TPACK Case Studies | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From tpackcases.org - August 12, 2013 9:22 PM

"The Practitioner’s Guide to TPACK is an initiative jointly undertaken by the members of the National Technology Leadership Coalition (NTLC). Technology is rapidly changing how we teach and how we learn. Emergent technologies offer opportunities to understand concepts in deeper, often different, and more meaningful ways. However, this growth in understanding will occur only if teachers learn to use these technologies in effective ways."

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you have not heard of TPACK here is a brief explanation. Think of a digagram that has three intersecting circles.The circles are: 

* technological knowledge

* pedagogical knowledge

* content knowledge

To make the best use of technological knowledge one must also have an understanding of pedagogical and content knowledge and how they interact with one another. 

What makes this site unique to me is that it includes case studies of the use of TPACK in English, History. Mathematics and Science in both elementary and secondary education and they have recently posted a video study on elementary mathematics. 

To do this site justice you will find yourself spending time exploring...and you may walk away with some new ideas and lesson plans!

A must watch for all educators interested in TPACK.  Excellent model to enable the viewer to follow the theory being effectively put into practice. #plpnetwork #edchat #ceoelearn

This is a virtual place for folks interested in learning to "operationalize TPACK" (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge) via curriculum-based learning activity types ('ATs') to get up-to-date information, and (more importantly) participate in the vetting and refining of the activity types in each of the curriculum areas in which activity type development is happening.

Three Working Models to Integrate Technology in Your Teaching

Three Working Models to Integrate Technology in Your Teaching | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - May 6, 2014 8:14 PM

"Technology is obviously an essential element in our instructional toolkit. Knowing how and when and for what purposes to use this technology is much more important than the technology itself...

An important step in the process of effective integration of technology in education is having a pedagogical approach supported by a theoretical framework to ground your technology practices inside the classroom."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Technology is a tool. When to use, how to use it, why you use...these are some of the questions that each of us must consider. To help us effectively integrate technology it is helpful to have a pedogogical background or framework. This post explores three approaches:

* SAMR Model - Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefintion

* TPACK - Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Technological Knowledge and the overlapping knowledges that occur: TP Knowledge which helps us understand how to make content more accessible; TC Knowledge which helps us pair or combine appropriate technology to content; and PC Knowledge which allows us to pair pedagogy with content.

* Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs paired with Technology

This article presents a great overview of all three of these pedagogical approaches, and all have been covered in this Scoop.it so if you are looking for additional information do a search here.

Merging Basic Lesson Design With Technological Pedagogical Knowledge

Merging Basic Lesson Design With Technological Pedagogical Knowledge | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - June 20, 2013 10:40 PM

"The basic lesson design sequence for Direct Instruction--established by Madeline Hunter--includes 6 fundamental steps: 1. Anticipatory Set;  2. Objective & Purpose; 3. Input & Modeling; 4. Checking for Understanding; 5. Guided Practice; and 6. Independent Practice."

Beth Dichter's insight:

What if you merge the six steps for Direct Instruction from Madeline Hunter with the TPCK Model? The image above shows how the two might work together. 

The TPCK Model looks at Technological Knowledge (TK), Content Knowledge (CK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) and last but not least, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK). 

This post suggests that components of the Direct Instruction Model relate to the TPCK Model and using both will assist us in designing curriculum. 

If the TPCK Model is new to you the links below is one the resources that I find valuable.

Roberto Ivan Ramirez's curator insight, July 16, 2013 8:06 PM

En el modelo TPACK se agrega una serie de fases metodológicas que de alguna manera puede enriquecer y complementar la creación de proyectos colaborativos académicos, sin embargo esto tiene que pilotearse para observar y monitorear su nivel y grado de efectividad en el caso que esto se intente enfoacar a través de entornos personales de aprendizaje y posteriormente con la ampliación de redes personales de aprendizaje, es parte de lo que intento llevar a cabo con los cursos que implementé: comprobar si efectivamente o no se pueden concretar experiencias tecno pedagógicas significativas y pertienentes a nivel universitario, o con docentes y alumnos de escuelas secundarias, aun no tengo esos datos para compartirlos, pero esperemos relizarlo más adelante. Por lo pronto sigamos tejiendo las conexiones y los nodos con las herramientas y personas invitadas y las que se puedan sumar.

Not so sure I agree with this at first glance- but need to explore it more- design theory seems to change often

The Technology Integration Answer (Well Almost...)

The Technology Integration Answer (Well Almost...) | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From web20classroom.blogspot.com - December 10, 2011 7:21 AM

Earlier this year our group adopted the TPACK model of technology integration.

What is TPACK you ask?

Look up the research from Harris, Mishra, and Koehler (2009) to learning more about using TPACK to guide technology integration.
