Class 2: TPACK and Activity Types

Topics Today

1. New Class Member Introductions 2. Syllabus Questions? 3. Reading Discussion4. TPACK5. Activity Types6. Homework

1. What objective do you choose?

2. What will you (the teacher) do?

3. What will you have students do?

4. How will you know if students have learned?

Planning Guide

•Standards

•CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.•CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.2a Introduce a topic clearly and group related information in paragraphs and sections; include formatting (e.g., headings), illustrations, and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension.•CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.2b Develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic.•CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.2c Link ideas within categories of information using words and phrases (e.g., another, for example, also, because).•CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.2d Use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain the topic.•CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.2e Provide a concluding statement or section related to the information or explanation presented.

What’s TPACK?

T = TechnologicalP = PedagogicalA = Nothing--Tricky place holder

C = ContentK = Knowledge

…and is it contagious?

Knowing how to teach with instructional technologies in ways that students will learn is considered a special kind of knowledge

Reporting Out

Let me have a group volunteer:

- Which Objective?- What did the teacher do? (What kind of knowledge does the teacher need to have?)- What did the students do?- How do you know if students have learned?

What Kind of Knowledge?

Avoiding “Technocentrism”

• Seymour Papert (1987) calls it “technocentric” when instruction is planned starting with the digital tools and resources that will be used.

• If you do this, the lesson is focused upon the technologies being used, more than the students who are trying to use them to learn.

Activity Types to help with planning

• Ways to help teachers add instructional technologies to their teaching that corresponds with how most teachers plan

• Start with the Goals, end with the Instructional technologies

• http://activitytypes.wmwikis.net/

Using Activity Types to Plan• Choosing learning goals

• Making practical pedagogical decisions about the nature of the learning experience

• Selecting and sequencing appropriate activity types to combine to form the learning experience

• Selecting formative and summative assessment strategies that will reveal what and how well students are learning

• Selecting tools and resources that will best help students to benefit from the learning experience being planned

OVERHEAD DOCUMENT CAMERA

• Display written work on regular paper

• Show demonstrations without blocking view

• Show calculator

• Students can show work from regular paper

• Sometimes hard to see if writing is too light”

• Display written work on clear overhead sheet

• Easy to “muss up” from erasable marker

Your Task…

1. Access your Diigo file and examine the fourth grade common core standard

2. In pairs or group of three’s, select an objective to teach.

3. Write out a step by step plan for a one hour class showing how you would introduce the lesson and teach the content.

4. Use Pinterest, Livebinders, or the internet to find an activity that could be used to help you teach the objective

5. Use your activity type resources to identify technology that would assist you in teaching the lesson.
