Ed Week goes TPACK

by | Thursday, March 27, 2008

There is an article in yesterday’s Education Week (a part of their Technology Counts series) titled “Learning to Teach with Technology.” I was interviewed by the author (Vaishali Honawar) a few months ago and had completely forgotten about it, till someone emailed me this link. The articles speaks to the trend (as exemplified by the TPACK framework) of “incorporating technology directly into math and science courses, rather than offering such training separately.” I am quoted in the article (as are like minded friends like John Park, Glen Bull & Joel Colbert). The TPACK handbook gets a mention as well.

Failure and risk-taking are essential to the creative process. It is rare that good original, creative work or ideas come together in the first try. Thus, an important component of engaging in creative practice is both an acceptance of potential failure as well as a...
