TPCK, in the news

by | Friday, January 11, 2008

The TPCK work by Matt Koehler & myself is featured in the Winter 2008 issue of the New Educator, the magazine published by the College of Education at Michigan State University. You can download the full issue here [pdf], or just the article here [pdf].

Glen Bull, co-director of the University of Virginia’s Curry Center for Technology and Teacher Education, kindly agreed to be interviewed for the story and this is what he had to say:

(TPCK) is likely to have a significant impact on the profession and lead to more effective uses of technology… by viewing (educational technology) through a different lens… The reason that it’s had such good reception is because it resonates with people’s intuition about what needs to be done. They articulated something that didn’t yet have a name.

Thanks Glen.

Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022

One afternoon, back in December 2008, we made a couple of new year's videos to welcome the new year. It was not planned in any way—it was just a way to spend the afternoon since it was too cold to go outside. Thus began a tradition that goes strong even today—13 years...
