EDU 210 Presentation

1. Multimedia Reflection on the
concepts of Educational
Technology

2.  TPACK is a very important
concept for teachers in the
present world.
 TPACK consist of three things:
• CONTENT
• PEDAGOGY
• TECHNOLOGY
 Teachers need to be able to
incorporate the three concepts
together to use in a classroom.

3.  In Module 4, we were
tasked to reflect on
our own TPACK
development.
 I was not too confident
in using technology in
my classrooms.

4. Technology and Pedagogy circles are quite small because I lack
confidence in using technology in my classrooms.

5.  There is definitely an
change in my TPACK
model.
• Throughout this course
I have learned many
new technologies,
frameworks on
technology and using
technology in ways I
have never imagined
before. View this in high quality on the next slide!

6. My current TPACK model
Though it does not seem like it is a big change, I have learned a lot on
technology. It is growing everyday, and it is amazing how technology can bring
us to new heights of learning.

7.  Module 2: PLN
• PLNs are a great way to find
new ideas by connecting to
the world.
• How does this contribute to
my TPACK growth?
 One valuable aspect of PLNs is
the fact that it can introduce
new technologies and
strategies that I can try in my
own classroom. New
technology and strategy will
allow me to see what works
and not work; allowing me to
improvise using a different
technology or strategies in my
classroom.
This is a screenshot of my Module 2 assignment
discussing a few benefits of PLNs.

8.  Module 6: Interactive
Whiteboards
• Though I have seen interactive
whiteboards, it was not until this
class that I learned a lot about
them.
• I have discovered that I can use
interactive whiteboards for much
more than I have imagined.
• This is definitely something that
contributes to the growth of my
TPACK skills.
• I have also found some
interesting activities to use that
takes advantage of the
technology the IWB provides.
This is a screenshot of me working with an Interactive
Whiteboard for Part A of Module 6.

9.  Module 7: Mlearning
• Maybe it was how I was
taught in school, I have
been always reluctant to
use mobile devices in my
classes during my
practicum.
• Module 7 taught me that
there are many great apps
and tools that could be used
on a mobile device to learn.
• This is something I need to
work on, but I am for sure
going to use mobile learning
in my classes. This is a screenshot of my Module 7 assignment.

10.  Module 8: Learning
Management Systems
• Though I have used them
when I was in school, (most
memorable was SchoolZone)
LMSs we have discussed in
this class is a step forward.
• The ability to creat
announcements, online
quizzes and assingments
definitely helps bring my
TPACK skills one step further.
• I can take advantage of LMSs
to improve my classroom and
make it flexible.
CourseSites is an example of an LMS. I created an
example course website for Module 8.

11.  Technology is a part of
our life now. It impacted
the world and ultimately
will impact me.
• The future will be even
more technological, and I
think it is great for me to
be able to use and
incorporate technology in
my classrooms.
• I am going to teach for
the future, and there is no
better way than to
embrace technology.

12.  There are a lot more that
helped in increasing my
TPACK skills
• Examples: Web 2.0 Tools
(Module 9),
 One challenge for me now
is knowing how to balance
my classroom so
technology and face-to-
face instruction can be
able to retain their values
without one dominating
the other. Connect our world. Embrace Technology!

fun?
