  In a bustling, futuristic mega-city street stands an autonomous robotic statue resembling a 19th-century neoclassical hero, with an all-seeing gaze, reminding us of authoritative power and influence. Nu Jazz https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrxQKZRnAka3dliF7lp1-Ow Description In the heart of a mega city, amidst the bustle of 21st-century crowds, statues long forgotten stir to life. These once grand figures, now sleek, metallic sentinels, glide silently across the cityscape. Once symbols of history, they’ve become the guardians of a new age. Their mechanical limbs move harmoniously with the city’s rhythm, scanning, watching, and protecting. The past has been retooled for the present. No longer marble and bronze, they are now steel and circuit, a testament to the fusion of past grandeur with future innovation.

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 Progress

  The Progess - Nu Jazz by JJFBbennett Intro: Under the canopy of night, the mega city breathes.   Its streets, bathed in artificial glow, stretch out, endless.   Bridges and towers, silent sentinels, stand tall against the darkness,   Their lights are a beacon for our weary souls wandering beneath them. Verse 1: In this city of dreams and realities intertwined.   Cars drift slowly, each a microcosm, each a solitary journey.   The horizon promises more of the same.  A continuation of the unknown, the unseen, the unspoken. Chorus 1: And the lights, they tell stories,   But from afar, they blend into a tapestry of light and shadow.   A cold, distant beauty,   Reminding us of the vastness we pretend to understand. The vastness. Cold and beautiful. Verse 2: The city hums, a melody of human achievement,   Yet within its pulse, the silent voices go unheard.   Each window, a world, each light, a fragment of a life,   Together, they form a pattern.   A design too grand to decipher. Chorus 2:
