AACTE Major Forum on TPCK

by | Thursday, January 17, 2008

Matt and I will be at New Orleans in a few weeks presenting at a major forum organized as a part of the AACTE conference. The title of the major forum is When Multiple Technologies Take Learning to a higher level: the technological Pedagogical content Knowledge (TPCK) Framework and Curricular Exemplars. This will also coincide with the release of the TPCK handbook, which should be a lot of fun.

Here’s the formal announcement: Join AACTE for the release of The Handbook of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) for Educators, the first comprehensive scholarly book exploring this increasingly important concept and one that offers a research-based conceptual framework for teachers to develop the knowledge and skills they need to integrate multiple technologies into teaching and learning . The contributors to this volume maintain that teachers’ TPCK is key to successful curriculum-based technology integration. By shifting technology integration from the current “technocentric” model to the new TPCK model, they assert that technologies increasingly will be seen not as stand-alone additions to teacher education but as vital tools applied specifically and uniquely in each subject matter domain and fully integrated into instructional settings . This forum will present a TPCK theoretical framework, contextual and access issues, and instructional strategies for integrating multiple technologies and related pedagogies to improve student learning . Content-based examples of exemplary TPCK development for educators will be showcased.

Presenters: Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler, Michigan State University; Mario Kelly, Hunter College, City University of New York; Joe Garofalo, University of Virginia; Marcela van Olphen, University of South Florida
Moderator: Joel Colbert, Chapman University

TPACK in Science: New book & chapter

Teaching design, some ideas

Autonomy, mastery, purpose

This presentation of a talk by Daniel Pink has been making the rounds on the Interwebs. I am including it here just as a personal reminder for me to use in my teaching AND as an example of a wonderful presentation style. Check out RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising...

eduPUNKing a course website!!

I had written about the EduPunk movement earlier, in fact had even designed a logo for it. A brief description of Edupunk can be found on Wikipedia (a google search will reveal many more). Wikipedia describes it as follows: Edupunk is an approach to teaching and...

On designing aesthetic educational experiences in science

What is the role of beauty (and aesthetics) in science in science education? This is something that I have been interested in for a long time, going back to highschool. Over the years I have built a small body of scholarship around this topic. Sadly, this work does...

TPACK Radio/Video Show, now on Vimeo

The TPACK Radio/Video show that we had created for ISTE is now available on Vimeo. I think this version is easier to embed and view (as opposed to a 21MB download, as it was the previous time around). TPACK Radio/Video Show ISTE 2010 from Punya Mishra on Vimeo. A fake...
