New (tongue-in-cheek) TPACK diagram

Judi Harris and her team just shared the latest version of the TPACK newsletter #38. You can find the latest issue here (pdf) and all previous issues are archived here.

The growth of work around TPACK never ceases to amaze me. A new feature that Judi recently added to the newsletter is the total number of publications that have utilized TPACK as a critical framework for research and scholarship. By September 2018,  there have been 964 articles, 243 book chapters, 26 books, and 302 dissertations around TPACK. Wow!

Followup from Judi Harris, received by email:

The total numbers of TPACK pubs that appear in issue 38 of the newsletter are only the numbers of TPACK pubs that have appeared in the TPACK newsletters (since January 2009). If you add the citations that were published before the newsletters began distribution, the numbers rise to: 

Journal articles:                982
Chapters:                          243 (same)
Dissertations:                  306
Books:                                 27
TOTAL:                            1556 

And if you add all of the conference papers that have used or focused upon TPACK, the total number of TPCK/TPACK pubs rises to more than 3200.

Bad poetry time: Clerihews

Just when you thought I had run through all the bad poetry I can spew (see here for my palindromic poems) here is another set of poems I had all but forgotten about. A few years ago I got hooked into writing Clerihews. For the uninitiated: The clerihew is a bit of...
