Educational Theories z3374833 https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172249094 TPACK: Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge
Technology 
- represents technical knowledge, software, computational skills

Content knowledge
- includes what you as a teacher are trying to convey to students

Pedagogical knowledge
- how to teach e.g. expert in certain areas may not know how to teach these subjects

PCK 
- pedagogical and content knowledge meet, allows for experts in certain domains to teach 

How to use technology to support knowledge/study in expert fields, how can we use this to support teaching?
Response to TPACK --> understand that this framework is contextual, and can be applicable to the way TPACK works in High or Primary education
Attempts to extract understandings of sub domains to support technological integration within classrooms, that is to say HOW to teach content knowledge with the use of technology.

Created by Dr Ruben Puentedura
4 Levels, 2 Sections

1. Substitution
Technology used acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change e.g. typing an essay on word document as opposed to hand writing - task remains same, tool changes

2. Augmentation
Task is the same but the tech allows for functional improvement, e.g. program like Google docs allows for functional improvements like commenting and sharing

----> both 1 and 2 enhance learning and are more efficient but may not make a difference in future outcomes as most learning takes place in tramsformation

3. Modification
Tech allows for significant task redesign e.g. instead of writing an essay, a student can publish a blog using text embedded links to further explain their learning, meaning more people could have access to this knowledge and ability to post publicly on it 

4. Redefinition
Tech allows for creation of new tasks that was previously inconceivable  e.g. instead of writing essay, can create and publish their argument with multimedia, technology allows students to engage in a new more involved task as opposed to simple writing task. Transformation allows for new learning 

What? Why? How? - Teachers can design tasks differently with the integration with different technological tools to maximise student success]]> 2017-05-17 05:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172249531 3.

Understanding student perspective and asking them what they need from the teacher, speaking and engaging with them not AT them

- asking students for feedback
- understanding time management 
- "stop standing next to a whiteboard and talking to us"
- students asking for individual engagement as opposed to lecture style classroom 
- understanding student voice and acting on requests for individual learning styles 
- responding to what students need 
- direct correlation between results and how information is delivered 
- using technological tools to aid students to have a deeper understanding of theoretical frameworks, in this case mathematical equations
- links within virtual learning environment allow teacher to see which students access particular resources
- condense information into video form means that students can watch videos in their own time, pause, rewind and build on the concept of understanding of what task needs to be done
- asking for help in a virtual learning environment means that students can pause on the part of the video that they do not understand
- making changes to cater to student needs as opposed to teacher needs
- quality of learning using higher order thinking tasks to enhance/enrich student performance
- self-management, self enrichment 
- defining features of effective lesson plan? --> student voice, feedback, IWBs effective use for student engagement?]]> 2017-05-17 06:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172254319 5. IWB - smartboard z3374833 https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172257952 Basic Tools

TO USE SMARTBOARD IN SCHOOL:
Ensure computer has IWB software > login > go to start > programs > SMART technologies > SMART notebook > SMART notebook 10

^^ This launches the whiteboard. ]]> 2017-05-17 06:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172257952 6. Cybersafety, privacy and copyright z3374833 https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172269867 DUTY OF CARE:
- consider new ways to supervise students
- ensure there is safety around the online sessions they plan
- have strategies in place to prevent cyberbullying
http://www.dec.nsw.gov.au/detresources/Duty-of-care_aINKBMeyYD.pdf

TAKE ALL reasonable action to protect students from risks of harm that can be reasonably predicted. Standard of care that is required needs to commensurate with students' maturity and ability

Privacy:
Signing students up to online spaces and sites may require consent from students' parents AND need to check with the school to see that this is managed.
Posting and sharing information online about a person other than yourself online requires consent.
Consent must be fully informed, freely current and specific in how the information will be presented and to whom it will be presented.
Signed authority for any work, images or information posted online.

Assessment z3374833 https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172271844 This video of assessment expresses how a teacher can gauge whether a student is understanding process of content or not, that is to say - that a student knows how to reach their answer. It is valuable to know that a student understands how they reached their answer, so for more difficult questions they can implement similar strategies. Giving a student a test of 20 questions without checking they know how to respond to the types of questions and the content it contains would be purposeless - the student would not be able to complete the task. It is imperative that teachers assess for and of learning. 

Using something like WordPress or Tumblr would be a visual aid to see whether or not students are engaging in their visual homework assignments. Some students prefer using digital resources, others prefer drawing and others prefer a mix. Providing students with different mediums to achieve the same task, for example a Visual Arts Process Diary (VAPD) means that students of different learning needs and abilities are able to engage with resources that suit them.

Using infographics to communicate assessments would also help with visual learners. The example from Full Tilt Ahead gives an infographic that depicts what the task is, how they will complete it and how it will be assessed. The infographic contains the same information that is in a written assessment notification, however gives students of different needs the ability to comprehend the task differently. ]]> 2017-05-17 08:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/z3374833/i6tooeqivlea/wish/172271844
