I found another site about technology and teachers called What is TPACK http://www.ttf.edu.au/what-is-tpack/what-is-tpack.html. The following information is from the website which is developed by Dr Matthew J. Koehler, Associate Professor of Educational Psychology and Educational Technology at the College of Education, Michigan State University. The website provides content from one of the two theorists who developed the TPACK model. Its talks about how teachers can bring their knowledge of subject matter with profound understanding of what is good for learning. The combination has been described as Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and is more than the simple addition of two parts. The fusion is what enabled expert 20th century teachers to transform subject content and represent it in ways that made it accessible to individual learners in their specific contexts.
In the 21st century, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is providing us with new ways to access and process knowledge in every field. ICT is also transforming pedagogy by providing new ways to engage learners.
The people I follow haven’t really been posting a lot lately and I kind of miss reading about them all. Sophie Lofthouse posted recently https://crankymisslofthouse.wordpress.com/ about backward design plans which I experienced last semester in my course.
