THINKING ABOUT TPACK -BORROWING FROM PCK An overarching conception of what it means to teach particular content topics; Knowledge of students’ understandings, thinking, and learning of particular subject matter topics; Knowledge of curriculum and curriculum materials with learning and teaching subject matter topics; Knowledge of instructional strategies and representations for teaching and learning particular content topics. Grossman, 1989, 1990 TPACK An overarching conception of what it means to integrate technology to teach particular content topics; Knowledge of students’ understandings, thinking, and learning of particular subject matter topics with technology; Knowledge of curriculum and curricular materials that integrate technology with learning and teaching subject matter topics; Knowledge of instructional strategies and representations for teaching and learning particular content topics with appropriate technologies. Niess, 2005

DEVELOPING TPACK 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Recognizing (knowledge) Accepting (persuasion) Adapting (decision) Exploring (implementation) Advancing (confirmation) Niess, Sadri, and Lee (2007) proposed a development model for TPACK emanating from Everett Rogers’ (1995) model of the innovation-decision process (first introduced in 1962 concerning societal diffusion of innovations; published in Diffusion of Innovations).

WRITING AND WORD PROCESSING Stations for classroom Writing with Word Processors 1. Ratiocination 2. Nutshelling 3. Students work in pairs, each challenging their other’s ideas in the drafts. Swapping Conclusions for Introduction 5. Collaborative groups of students examine their writing looking for one sentence to capture the cores. Devil’s Advocate 4. Small groups exchange ideas and responses for editing the individual drafts. Students swap their conclusion for the introduction as a means of moving the real meat of the essay to beginning. Exploding Sentences Students take sentences in their essays and expand that sentences, providing evidence that supports the positions.

DESIGNING LESSONS WITH TECHNOLOGY Student knowledge and thinking desired � Declarative � Procedural � knowing how that refers to sequences of steps to complete a task or subtask Semantic � knowing that, including definitions, terms, facts, and descriptions knowing why by drawing on both declarative and procedural knowledge, such as principles and mental models Strategic knowing when and where to use domain-specific knowledge and strategies, such as planning and problem solving together with monitoring progress towards a goal

LEARNING TO TEACH WITH TECHNOLOGY SUGGESTS THAT PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS NEED OPPORTUNITIES TO: Interconnect and interrelate their knowledge of content, pedagogy and technology Plan, organize, critique and abstract their ideas for guiding their particular students’ learning of the subject matter content with appropriate technologies Implement their plans that include methods and strategies for applying technology to maximize student learn Reflect on the effectiveness of the instruction and students’ learning, refining and refining their plans

PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS NEED: Time to build confidence and understanding Opportunities to see good teaching

PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS NEED: Time to build confidence and understanding Opportunities to see good teaching modeled Assistance in making good technology choices Opportunities to develop and teach technology infused lessons

ALTERNATIVES TO PRE-SERVICE TEACHER PREPARATION: A TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP MODEL Phase 1 � One month

ALTERNATIVES TO PRE-SERVICE TEACHER PREPARATION: A TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP MODEL Phase 1 � One month technology course (2 hours/day); content specific materials and instruction (2 hours/day) � One month, full-day coursework introducing common themes of teaching: unit and lesson design, learning theories, professionalism, and classroom management � One month of full day field placement Phase 2 � Coursework and field experiences where pre-service teachers interact in their initial field in the mornings and coursework in the afternoons (two months) Phase 3 � Full time coursework with class assignments that involve short-term field experiences Phase 4 � Full time student teaching experience

PHASE 3: THE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP Partners Two pre-service teachers in similar subject/grade levels �

PHASE 3: THE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP Partners Two pre-service teachers in similar subject/grade levels � Practicing teacher in the subject/grade level � Challenge � Design and teach lessons for the subject/grade level that integrates appropriate technology in the lessons Partner roles in the design of lessons � Pre-service teachers � Practicing teacher Provide insight into the ways that the technology might be used to enhance the instruction of the planned curriculum Provide information about the curriculum and the classroom context Design-based, iterative lesson development/teaching/reflection Pre-service teachers take turns teaching lessons, observing and critiquing lessons � Reflection where all three partners take active roles leading to redesign of future lessons. �
