Efficiency runs on Burnout

  Efficiency runs on Burnout The biggest misconception isn’t the pursuit of paradise; it’s the belief that constant convenience and perfect order come without pain.  When you push through exhaustion in silence,   When you distance yourself emotionally,   When the lonely effort of performing is celebrated,   Beware of the trap of striving for efficiency every single day Be Creative and Innovative with Knowledge John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett , is an independent artist.

TPACK overview

TPACK overview
  •     Technology Pedagogy and Content Knowledge 
CPK - The starting point
PK: Shulman, 1987
  • Content Pedagogy Knowledge
  • Shulman  (pre ’87) claimed that teachers' subject knowledge and pedagogy were being treated as mutually exclusive domains.
  • Consequence: a focus on either subject matter or pedagogy dominated education.
  • Shulman proposed that effective teaching existed in the overlap of the 2 dichotomies.
PCK: explanation
PCK is the intersection and interaction of pedagogy and content knowledge.
Essential Knowledge & effective teaching

PCK includes
  • Essential knowledge content-based curricula
  • Subject-specific concepts, theories & practices
  • Assessment and reporting processes
  • Instructional planning
  • Student's prior knowledge
  • Theories of learning - cognitive, social & developmental
  • Alternative teaching strategies
PCK: Teacher education programs
“Most teacher education programs in Australia have been designed by taking into account PCK.”
Teacher education programs are now considering the role of technology in learning - TPACK


DER: Teacher ICT Capabilities & Pedagogy
Digital Educational Revolution Australia
Teachers make innovative & effective use of ICT in pedagogy

DER - Implementation
Leadership
  • Plan and lead change
  • Deliver digital learning to students in all areas
Infrastructure
  • Learning management systems (Moodle)
  • ePortfolios (Mahara)
Learning Resources
  • Digital education resources (Scootle)
Teacher Capability
  • Harness the resources of the digital revolution
  • Integration of ICT to support changed pedagogies (ELITE AMPeL)
Warning: Technology without Pedagogy
Technology cannot be the driving force
  • Avoid the Mirror Image Syndrome
Avoid ICT replacements without due consideration of the purpose.
  • Think before a lesson becomes a PowerPoint with notes
  • Think before a class discussion becomes a forum
  • Think before a resource becomes a webpage with hyperlinks
Technology without pedagogical and content application will result in a reductive learning environment.

TPACK: Integrating Technology
TPACK
  • Integrates Technology with Pedagogy & Content Knowledge
Advice:
  • Increased technology for technology sake does not lead to increased student learning.
  • The effectiveness of technology is dependant on teaching practices.
  • How you integrate content and pedagogy with technology matters as much as integrating technology with pedagogy and technology.
  • If teachers see content, technology, and pedagogy as separate domains - technology will always be just an ineffective add on.
TPACK: Overview
TPACK is an understanding of interactions within the following domains
  • Technology
  • Pedagogy
  • Content
To effectively understand TPACK teachers need to understand  how
Technology Pedagogy and Content works in;
  • Isolation
  • Together
  • and in Context
TPACK example: Story retelling

  • Activity: Retelling a story
  • Setup: Class is divided into groups of 2 - Story is broken up into sections to accommodate the groups
  • Learning Objectives: Reading Comprehension Skills & Oral Speaking Skills
  • Learning Process: Students will read a text, retelling the story using Media Editor and share  the retold story
TPACK: Questions

Questions to ask yourself
  • Which of the domains do you find easiest to work within?
  • Which overlapping domains do you find most difficult to work with?
  • How will you plan your learning environment to include all domains and overlaps?

The Toxic Weight of Waiting

  The Toxic Weight of Waiting The atmosphere has thickened. What was once a room defined by walls and chairs has dissolved into a toxic haze, an environmental manifestation of a mind under siege.  She no longer sits; she kneels, anchored to the floor by an invisible gravity. Above her, the "toxic air" takes shape as a looming, jagged shadow infused with high-velocity greens and burning volcanic reds. It feels less like smoke and more like a predator, a towering silhouette of anxiety that has finally outgrown the space. The colours vibrate with a sickly, chemical heat, turning the very oxygen into something thick and sharp. In this room, the silence has become deafeningly loud. The fractured light from the previous moment has bled together, creating a suffocating shroud that blurs the line between the physical world and an internal fever dream. The momentum hasn't just stalled; it has been swallowed. She has diminished, huddled in the eye of this psychic storm, a solitary ...

The Ethereal Ascent

  The Ethereal Ascent The air in the room is violently still, creating a heavy pressure. She has long stopped looking at the clock, realising that time here is not a sequence but a weight. The waiting room has fractured; the mundane reality of plastic chairs and linoleum flooring splinters into a jagged, stained-glass fever dream. High-pitched frequencies of burning red and sickly blues vibrate as if hardened walls, echoing the frantic noise of a mind that has run out of distractions. Every sharp edge of colour feels like a spiritual siege, a sensory reminder that her momentum has been forcibly halted. There is no use in pacing. There is no use in resisting the authoritative hand of the "in-between." To survive this stall, she must stop fighting the current and become part of the stagnant water. She looks out, as if just awakened, and does the only thing left to recollect. She breathes. She waits. She waits for the shards to align once more. Be Creative and Innovative wit...

Waiting for Azrael

  Waiting for Azrael The air in the room doesn't move; it simply presses She has long since stopped looking at the clock, realising that time here isn't a sequence, but a weight. The waiting room has fractured, the mundane reality of plastic chairs and linoleum tiling splintering into a jagged, stained-glass fever dream . High-pitched frequencies of burning red and sickly yellow vibrate against the walls, echoing the frantic noise of a mind that has run out of distractions. She pulls her legs inward and forms a tight knot, dressed in indigo and bruised purple. She tries to find a purpose in her world that refuses to stand still. Every sharp edge of colour feels like a spiritual siege , a sensory reminder that her momentum has been forcibly halted. There is no use in pacing. There is no use in resisting the authoritative hand of the "in-between." To survive this stall, she must stop fighting the current and become part of the stagnant water. She buries her face, lets t...
