I include below a copy of the AACTE Major Forum presentation (announcement here<\/a>) that I made at New Orleans on Saturday, February 9. There were other things that I participated in (as listed here<\/a>) and I will post about them later. Matt<\/a> was supposed to do this talk (as part of our standard exchange program) but he fell sick and I had to end up doing this. I too the draft we had developed jointly and made two fundamental changes. First, was tweaking it to match my style of presentation, and second, I wanted to dedicate this talk to R. K. Joshi, maybe the most influential teacher I have ever had. The latter took a bit more work but I think I managed to pull it off so that this dedication would integrate smoothly with the other issues and look tacked on. <\/p>\n

Joel Colbert introduces each of the presenters and we went in the following sequence. I went first, introducing TPCK and its important role of creativity. I was followed by Mario Kelly who spoke about issues related to context and access, Marcela van Olphen who spoke of TPCK and learning\/teaching world languages and finally Joe Garofalo who shared examples of TPCK in mathematics and science education. <\/p>\n

Joel had some up with funny introductions for all the presenters, inspired by the introduction<\/a> we had sent in. In my case he pretty much used the introduction Matt and I had sent him, with a minor change, which was suggesting that Matt and I were identical twins, separated at birth \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I think my presentation went off quite well, though I felt a bit rushed to fit all that I had so say within my allocated 15 minutes, and did go over by around 2 minutes. The choice of having Joe go at the end, made a really good ending to the session, since some of the specific examples he used, tied in well with some of the broader themes I had introduced in my talk. <\/p>\n

Anyway, here is a Flash version of the talk. A couple of caveats. First, there is no audio track, which hopefully I will be able to add in later. Second, the quicktime movies embedded in the presentation do not work. I am including direct links below to the movies – which is not exactly the same thing as watching them within the talk, but that’s the best I can do for now. <\/p>\n
