Abstract: TPACK is a framework for the learning process in which educators combine Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge to deliver the learning experience. Therefore, TPACK can be defined as a complex interaction between the technology, pedagogy and content. TPACK expresses the overlap between these factors in a two-dimensional space, placing TPACK at the centre.
Educators can place their teaching episode within this space and ask, if I place my delivery at this point is it the best point in the TPACK space? Secondly educators may ask how can the best point within the space be determined?
The CPT model proposes an attempt to address these questions by recasting TPACK as a three-dimensional pseudo-vector space allowing expected outcomes

TPACK can be redefined as; the pedagogical dimensions that use the new technologies in constructive methods to deliver subject content in a manner that offers the learners a new understanding of the world around them.
Basically the combination of these three factors technology, pedagogy and content knowledge have formed and shaped the TPACK model to be considered as the most important element in the learning process, the TPACK in the learning process can lead to success or failure process or outcomes, it depends on both the student and the teacher, everyone has his own role for it to be successful, the students have to improve their skills in the ICT as a receiver, their social communications and his critical thinking to be able to deal with the pedagogy dimension can be used inside the classroom, and regarding the teacher has to develop his skills in the ICT as well but as a sender, has to have a deep understanding for the pedagogy dimensions and to have a strong back ground about the taught subject therefore TPACK does not mean that the teacher has to deal with each element of (T, P, and C) separately but it means in simple words that the teacher has to create the pot where he needs to place these elements together for the complex interaction amongst them to take place which can be considered later as the integration between the technology and the
Creative Curriculum 1. Select and identify TWO concepts presented in the video you find significant as an early educator and explain why you selected these concepts (7 descriptive/detailed sentences) In the Creative Curriculum video, I noticed the schedule they kept was far more regimented then the other types of preschools. The planning and preparation the teachers put into their classrooms lesson plans were well thought out and specific. Every moment of the day seems to be planned and each activity is designed with a specific purpose in mind.
I found it very interesting when reading the, “Components of the Tough Kid Generalization Model,” particularly component 2, which is common classroom stimuli assessment. I never thought about how Tough Kids would almost forget what general education is like because they most likely have been in Special Education for so long. Therefore, certain stimuli that are common to students in General Education are a big deal to Special Education students unfamiliar with the procedures. This means it is important for students to be assessed to determine what stimuli are overwhelming for them.
In this article, Ferriter (2009) reveals many benefits from the use of technology in the classroom with our 21st-century learners. The resources and suggestions mentioned throughout this reading will assist teachers in ways to avoid problems and becoming engaging instructors by using technology in innovative ways. What I found was so innovative by this approach was by creating a network of innovative co-learners where collaboration takes place regularly, Ferriter (2009), is able to experiment with digital connections without ever meeting other teachers in person. Not only is this beneficial for students and teachers all over the world, but also simple. What I found was unique and useful was the worldwide collaboration that helps teachers explore skills and dispositions that assisted with the network cooperation by creating shared content.
More pictures and objects are introduced as the student succeeds in consistently choosing the correct or desired object. The student is
There is high risk with this model, however the degree of risk can be controlled by acquiring information on the probability of the selected alternative producing the desired outcome. Another option would be the Incremental Model. With this model, Mr. Miller would work with the faculty and other individuals to establish instructional goals. Mr. Miller could then return to the issues surrounding ability grouping to determine whether the decision would enhance goal attainment. Mr. Miller could also choose the Mixed Scanning Model.
Additionally, the tasks need to be constructive and interlinked and provide a challenge to the students while also acting as a motivation factor. The adopting of effective teaching to match the personal strengths of the students ensures that a student’s learning outcome is achieved Holistic assessment should be encouraged to understand what the learner has captured on a learning
This allows educators to differentiate their instruction by giving the learner
They act as a foreshadowing of the future. Technology is growing, standardized testing is evolving, rigor in the classroom is diminishing, competition between students is increasing, and saddest of all, the ultimate desire to learn is disappearing. The concept of expanding a child 's knowledge through school has seemingly begun to be forgotten. It has been pushed aside by the daily stresses of high school itself, from getting good grades to finishing homework on time. The biggest stress presented to students of high school today has been standardized tests.
The prevalence and order of these theories and their constructs depends on factors such as subject content, student behaviour
Lessons are designed according to students learning difficulties. Students’ prior knowledge is assessed through the pre-tests and interviews as assessment tools to inform the content of the lessons. According to Hodge (2010), the key component of an effective lesson is when the teacher understands and knows about the topic. As Variation Theory using learning study is collaborative in its nature, teachers gain more knowledge on the topic as they discuss and meet to share their past experiences about teaching the topic before proceeding to the
They put forth that learning is to a substantial extent, based on information presented in a sequential and organized manner to students. This thought enhances meaningful learning, comprehension and retaining of the acquired
van Gelder, advised that Teachers should go further to engage students in procedures to confront problems on a continuous basis to help students develop such skills. 4. Knowledge Transfer. Undergrads or graduates most times act as Computer’s hardware where Information and knowledge is transferred and stored and retrieved when needed. But CT is going further to the application of this stored up information to multi task and produce varying outcomes, outputs, drawing up conclusions that are desirous, impactful and reproducible in solving problems in the
Educational Technology Annotated Bibliography Kozma, R. (2003). Technology and classroom practices: an international study. Journal Of Research on Technology in Education (1539-1523), 36(1), 1. The author of this article, his name is Roboer B. Kozma, is now working for the Technology in Learning center, the name of the center is SRI International. In this article he explores all of the findings of research that was done by many researchers on how the technology is affecting our classrooms.
The promises of educational technology are phenomenal especially in the case of urban school districts. Technology is a versatile and valuable tool for teaching and learning and becoming a way of life. The most important thing is that teachers need to be prepared to use these technologies effectively. Schools can use technology effectively and for the welfare of students, teachers and society, it must be done.
Critical Review 1. Teaching with Technology Simon Hooper and Lloyd P. Rieber We all know that technology refers to advancements in the methods and tools we use to learn.
