Integrating Technology, Pedagogy, and Content KnowledgeDoDEA and the ET

Successful technology integration requires that educators blend strong content knowledge with appropriate pedagogical strategy.TPACK- Technology, Pedagogy, and Content KnowledgeMishra, P., & Koehler, M. J. (2006). Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A new framework for teacher knowledge. Teachers College Record. 108(6), 1017-1054.

Why the ET is so essentialTechnological KnowledgeEducational Technologists can work with classroom teachers to seamlessly incorporate the NETS standards and identify appropriate technology tools to enhance a learning experience.All within the context of the lesson goalsTechnological, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge (TPACK)PedagogicalKnowledgeContent Knowledge

NETS*S, NETS*T, and NETS*A StandardsThe International Society for Technology in Education has issued and refreshed standards aimed at students, teachers and now administrators.National Educational Technology Standards for Students, Second Edition, ©2007, National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers, Second Edition ©2008, National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators, ©2009, ISTE® (International Society for Technology in Education)http://www.iste.org .

Why Three Sets?Math, ELA, and science standards are not broken down into administrator, teacher, and student standards. Technological KnowledgePedagogicalKnowledgeContent Knowledge…Because technology integration is a BIG JOB that, if done correctly, should change the way:Administrators plan,Teachers teach, and Students learn.

Administrators plan,

Teachers teach,

and Students learn.

Role of the ETTo effectively create this change in practice, there are ETs:In every schoolIn every districtIn every areaAnd at Headquarters……to stay current of assistive technology tools, integrate tools into content standards, and assist teachers with pedagogical implications.

So that ETs can focus on TPACK…ETs will: work with teachers and students in the classroom. work to find areas in DoDEA content standards that are a natural fit for existing technology tools. work with teachers in planning lessons and provide job embedded training to further teacher confidence with available technology tools.ETs will not:monitor SIS maintenance.compile SPSS and other school standard data.fix hardware and software problems.
