1. Integrating Technology into Teaching TPACK Steve Swan University of Louisville

2. Integrating technology into teaching can be viewed as a “wicked problem”. TPACK  Requirements are incomplete, contradictory, and changing  Unique, no two wicked problems are the same  Solutions are difficult to realize  Solutions are not “right’ or “wrong”  Solutions do not have “stopping rules”

3. If we teach today as we taught yesterday, then we rob our children of tomorrow. ~John Dewey ~John Dewey

8. Teacher Knowledge Content Content Knowledge (CK) is knowledge about the actual subject matter that is to be learned or taught. The content to be covered varies greatly by age level and subject- matter.

9. Teacher Knowledge Pedagogy Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) is deep knowledge about the processes and practices or methods of teaching and learning and how it encompasses (among other things) overall educational purposes, values and aims.

10. Teacher Knowledge Pedagogical Content KnowledgeLee Lee Shulman (198Those Who Understand: Knowledge Growth in Teaching, Lee Shulman (1986 Lee Shulman (1986 Content Pedagogy PCK In considering the relationship between content and pedagogy, the key question is how disciplines differ from each other and whether disciplines can or should be taught through the same instructional strategies.

11. Teacher Knowledge Pedagogical Content Knowledge Relationship Discipline Differences “How are content knowledge and general pedagogical knowledge related?” If those preconceptions are misconceptions, which they so often are, teachers need knowledge of strategies most likely to be fruitful in reorganizing the understanding of learners, because those learners are unlikely to appear before them as blank slates.

13. Teacher Knowledge Technology Understanding the impact of technology (TK) on the practices and knowledge of a given discipline is critical if we are to develop appropriate technological tools for educational purposes.

17. TPACK Stages (Niess et al., 2009) PK CK TK PCK PK CK TPACK TK Recognizing (Knowledge) Accepting (Persuasion) Adapting (Decision) Exploring (Implementation) Teachers are able to use technology and understand how it could be used for subject matter yet do not integrate it. Teachers form a(n) (un)favorable attitude toward using technology for teaching and learning subject matter. Teachers implement tech in their classroom instruction, leading them to a choice to adopt or its use for teaching that content. Teachers make revisions in their curriculum as a result of the technology capabilities and evaluate the results. Teachers actively integrate technology, designing their own ideas

20. 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 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.
