MY TPACK DEVELOPMENT

2. My Development with TPACK
At the beginning of this course, I’ll admit I was something of
a technophobe when it came to education, even though I use
technology quite frequently and fluently at home.
For the first half of this course, I stuck to that: if I was
going to use technology in the classroom, it would be little more
than a video or PowerPoint, and it would rank fairly lowly on the
SAMR model. I didn’t think that I needed to develop each part of
TPACK because I didn’t think I would ever have a strong need for
technology in my classroom.

I believe my original
aversion to technology was just
because I had nearly no
knowledge of how technology
could be used in a classroom;
I’d never seen it for myself.
Because I couldn’t
understand how technology
could be incorporated into the
classroom, I rejected the idea
that I should use it as often as
I would recommend using it
now.

4. The SAMR
Model
Once we started our work on
modules 5 and 6, I started to view
technology differently. The world of
technology came to life for me all
over again, and suddenly I was
dreaming up ways to brighten up my
classroom for my future students.
Suddenly, my idea of what
TPACK looked like for me changed
quite a lot. It looked something like
this…

5. My Revised
TPACK Model
I realized that I did have
knowledge of technology—in
fact, I’m more educated on
technology than a lot of my
peers.
The work that was ahead of
me was integrating this
existing knowledge into an
educational context, and I
have managed to do that
during my time in this
course.

6. I began to learn about new technologies
that could be used in my classes…
English (Secondary Level)
• WordPress/Blogger/Wix/Weebly for
keeping journals and doing
“QuickWrites.”
• eBooks, used in tandem with online
software like Evernote that could
design a full novel study course.
Social Studies (Secondary
Level)
• 10x10 as a way to start class
discussions about current events.
• Interactive lessons for mobile
devices to act as “Check Your
Understanding” quizzes for articles
handed out in class.

7. Where I am Now
My “EDU 210 journey” has taken
me all sorts of amazing places
with technology. My philosophy of
technology has completely
changed and, as a result, TPACK
is beginning to change for me.
I’m recognizing that all of this
knowledge that I have doesn’t
have to be separated, and that the
things I know are all related to
one another. I’m not where I
would like to be yet, but I’m
certainly well on my way.
