Individual Reflection
Think of an activity, lesson,
assignment, project, or unit of
work. Think of how the three
elements interplay within this
context. think of how you
develop it through the
interaction of TPACK.

Mobile Learning and Technology Integration Strategies for the Dynamic Classroom

Editor's Notes

  1. Technology integration - seen as wicked by Koehler and Mishra. When we start to integrate, some factors are known, some are unknown. not clear cut - things spring up and teachers (and students) need to be
  2. unique - no problem or technology integration is the same so no solution is the same definitive - each integration is fluid, with many choices along the way. ask 3 different teachers on how they incorporate mobile devices in their class and you’ll get three different integrations. satisficing - achieving a satisfactory solution
  3. using the term “teaching and learning practice” - lesson, activity, face-to-face, blended, online learning
  4. We need a flexible and integrated base of knowledge p.3
  5. Designing, implementing, planning, reflecting, Any gerund
  6. I think it is easier to know where we are going to, that is the emergent knowledge from the interaction of our knowledge of technology, content and pedagogy
  7. Think about them in isolation if we need to
  8. We may need to think about the interplay between technology and content - like how language or the human anatomy can be manipulated on a tablet
  9. Or perhaps we need to think the content and how different pedagogy results
  10. But we always come back to TPACK
  11. Tell a story of what was and what became. I’ll talk about the outline of a teaching and learning instance that I changed based on TPACK thinking and designing.
  12. When I first taught with the relationships unit, there was a small project or active learning task. I wasn’t able to change too much of it, due to time, the first time around. It did have a language focus that students should focus primarily on the conditionals to talk about relationships. It was described to the teachers as activity based with a prescribed output, a written script. Activities included reading some unrelated stories from the text.
  13. An example based on Relationship Project TPACK - when understanding all the elements, Less about relationships and more about authenticity and community involvement Pedagogy - inquiry based - go into community to explore and discover - communicative Content - scaffolded question - communication oriented so any language necessary to communicate but guiding towards conditionals in pre-activities - some readings but i searched for relevant readings - included more discussions between students Technology - integrated device - portable - students prepared for interviews, went out and did interviews - app based and transferrable data and information - workflows - As Michael Shaunessey said, always on. It certainly helped to think of where I wanted to go with the teaching and learning and almost simultaneously think of isolated components, like the technology, and instantly draw upon my knowledge of content and pedagogy. It is a dynamic interaction. Instead of a prescribed output, students were free to choose! Most did a video (not of themselves) but some did PuppetPals and one or two did a Keynote. All featured the language
  14. Pedagogical knowledge is deep knowledge about the processes and practices of teaching and learning… (it) applies to student learning, classroom management, less plan development and implementation and student evaluation… it includes knowledge about techniques or methods used in the classroom, the nature of the target audience and strategies for evaluating student understanding.
  15. learning styles integrated communicative inquiry based constructivist
  16. knowledge of the actual subject matter at the depth needed for different educational contexts knowledge of concepts, theories, ideas, organisational frameworks, knowledge of evidence and proof, nature of inquiry, established practices and approaches towards developing such knowledge discreet knowledge and application of it
  17. subject matter concepts organizational theories what constitutes evidence and proof in discipline nature of learning nature of inquiry curriculum learning outcomes - content (lessons) and assessment
  18. Proficiency of IT (FITness) goes beyond traditional notions of IT literacy to how we apply it in the many contexts. knowledge of knowing the technology and to function with it.
  19. What type of
