What is TPACK? | Teaching Teachers for the Future We have understood for a long time that expert teachers are those who can bring together their deep knowledge of subject matter with profound understanding of what is good for learning. The combination has been described as Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and is more than the simple addition of two parts. The fusion is what enabled expert 20th century teachers to transform subject content and represent it in ways that made it accessible to individual learners in their specific contexts. In the 21st century, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is providing us with new ways to access and process knowledge in every field. ICT is also transforming pedagogy by providing new ways to engage learners. Expert teachers now are those who can bring together knowledge of subject matter, what is good for learning, and technology (ICT).

My Advice About Teaching with Technology I spent a little time tonight looking back at the classroom blog that I started back during my first full year as a teacher, before I was even accepted in the Pinnacle Technology Leader program that we have in my county. In fact, I had forgotten that I even HAD a blog way back then, but the proof is there! What's interesting to me is comparing the blog I had then to the blog that I had the next year. One reason I love having a personal blog is because it's like a diary of sorts that reminds of those sometimes mundane turned awesome life happenings when memory fails. As is turns out, my classroom and professional blogs work the same way. In looking back at my first classroom blog, it was totally there to distribute information. But then I took a look at the classroom blog that I used the next year, and it had obviously evolved into something more than simply information distribution. But...just like my blog evolved in my 2nd year, so did my other use of technology. And you know what?
46 Tools To Make Infographics In The Classroom Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences). The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency. It’s curious they haven’t really “caught on” in schools considering how well they bridge both the old-form textbook habit of cramming tons of information into a small space, while also neatly overlapping with the dynamic and digital world. So if you want to try to make infographics–or better yet have students make them–where do you start? The 46 tools below, curated by Faisal Khan, are a good place to start.

"La misión principal de la escuela ya no es enseñar cosas" Última actualización el 12 Agosto 2013 Visto: 13845 Califica este contenido!! "La misión de la escuela ya no es enseñar cosas. Para Tonucci, de 68 años, nacido en Fano y radicado en Roma, el colegio no debe asumir un papel absorbente en la vida de los chicos. "Necesitamos de los niños para salvar nuestros colegios", explica Tonucci, licenciado en Pedagogía en Milán, investigador, dibujante y autor de Con ojos de niño, La ciudad de los niños y Cuando los niños dicen ¡Basta! Dialogó con LA NACION sobre lo que realmente importa a la hora de formar a los más chicos y dejó varias lecciones, que muchos maestros podrían anotar para poner en marcha a partir del próximo ciclo escolar. Propuso, en primer lugar, que los maestros aprendan a escuchar lo que dicen los niños; que se basen en el conocimiento que ellos traen de sus experiencias infantiles para empezar a dar clase. -¿Cómo concibe usted una buena escuela? -La escuela debe hacerse cargo de las bases culturales de los chicos. -¿Qué recomienda?
Rakenna oma henkilökohtainen oppimisverkosto (PLN). Alustana Twitter. Monet sosiaalisessa mediassa toimivat kokevat, että heidän osaamisensa kehittymisessä yhä keskeisempään rooliin ovat nousseet sosiaalisetverkostot – oman alan asiantuntijat, jotka jakavat, suodattavat ja julkaisevat alan viimeisintä tietoa verkossa. Lähes joka alalta löytyy nykyisin vaikuttajia (”thought leaders”), jotka jakavat blogissaan näkemyksiään, tviittaavat alan uutisia, linkittävät hyödyllisiin resursseihin ja parhaisiin käytäntöihin. Mikä on saanut asiantuntijat kilpailemaan siitä, kuka jakaa eniten? Yksi syy lienee se, että muille hyödyksi oleminen palkitsee Google -näkyvyytenä, ”pöhinänä” sosiaalisessa mediassa ja niiden myötä lopulta ehkä myös parempina työtilaisuuksina. Jos vain harvat tietävät mitä teet ja kuinka hyvä siinä olet, tuskin hukut työtarjouksiin. Vaikka bloggaaminen ei olisi oma juttusi, niin verkostojen avuliaisuudesta kannattaa ainakin ottaa hyöty irti. Henkilökohtainen oppimisverkosto (Personal Learning Network, PLN) Jakaminen perustavanlaatuisinta toimintaa
las-tecnologias-de-la-informacion_55_68-CAP3.pdf QR -koodit opetuksessa | Sormet Sormet -opettaja Jenni Koskinen lähestyi mielenkiintoisella ajatuksella, hän on hyödyntänyt - ja haluaa hyödyntää, QR -koodeja opetuksessa. Mielenkiintoinen ajatus olisi esim. QR -koodien käyttö suunnistuksessa rastimerkkeinä. Näin toimittaessa suunnistusrastit muuttuvatkin informatiiviksi ja toiminnallisiksi rasteiksi joissa pitää pelkän leimaamisen sijaan ratkoa esimerkiksi tehtäviä tai perehtyä vaikka alueen kasvityyppeihin. Erittäin mielenkiintoinen ajatus ! QR-koodeihin voisi sijoittaa myös koulun "QR-taululle" ajankohtaisia, mielenkiintoisia uutisia, asioita ja tapahtumia. Tästä mielenkiintoisesta ajatuksesta ja toiminnan etenemisestä voimme toivottavasti lukea lisää SopettajaJenni -blogista. Vihje: Koodin lukemiseen tarvitset jonkun QR -lukija appin ( esim.
¿CÓMO EVALUAR EL APRENDIZAJE POR COMPETENCIAS? Hoy seguimos con el problema central, conectado al qué se entiende por competencia y a su dominio metodológico, que constantemente, desde administraciones, colectivos y profesores a título individual, nos llega: ¿cómo evaluar por competencias? Para sintetizar y lograr claridad y orden en este problema apasionante, lo dividiremos en tres enunciados, que pueden dar una panorámica de la situación actual, desde nuestra perspectiva de realismo contextual. Adelantamos un resultado desde la investigación de INED21: es posible y además se puede hacer sencillamente, integrando lo cualitativo y lo cuantitativo, desde un diseño evaluativo que resuelve ese problema y que hace justicia al significado de lo que es el aprendizaje por competencias. Primer enunciado: las actuales estrategias evaluativas ( rúbricas…) no son operativas para el profesor en el aula. Segundo enunciado: la multiplicidad semántica del concepto de competencia tiene una consecuencia evaluativa que no se ha solucionado.
