Here are some examples of how to apply TPACK: Content: American History Strategy: Summarizing and note taking Tool: Google Docs Activity: Students work in groups to summarize key events of the Civil War era and take notes in a shared Google Doc. Content: English Strategy: Cooperative learning Tool: Edmodo Activity: Students collaborate on Edmodo to analyze a novel and discuss themes, posting questions and comments to help each other develop a deeper understanding. Content: Science Strategy: Nonlinguistic representations Tool: ThingLink Activity: Students create digital images using ThingLink to represent scientific concepts and share their creations to teach their classmates.

3. Our Stories
Technology has impacted our lives as learners
and who we are becoming.

4. Your Stories
1. Introduce yourselves and
what you do.
2. Share your best story of a
time you or someone else
integrated technology
well. What is becoming
clearer?
3. If you could change one
thing …
Emerson and
Thoreau reunited
would ask-
“What has
become clearer
to you since we
last met?”

6. TPACK is a framework that combines three
knowledge areas.
1. Content knowledge
2. Pedagogical knowledge
3. Technological knowledge

8. We look at the as the what. It’s the
subject matter we are teaching.
We look at pedagogical knowledge as the
Every teacher has tools - direct instruction,
modeling, graphic organizer, inquiry based group
discussion, debate, think pair-share, collaborative

9. The third area is technology because it’s the
partner.
tool will be selected to make the
content more accessible, while supporting
pedagogical strategies which have been
identified to help deliver the information?
Laptop, Smartboard, iPad, google, virtual
manipulatives, camera, etc.

11. Why TPACK?
Learning how to use technology is much different
than knowing what to do with it for instructional
purposes
Redesigning instruction requires an understanding
of how knowledge about content, pedagogy, and
technology overlap to inform your choices for
curriculum and instruction

12. 7 Pieces of the TPACK Pie
Content [CK]: subject matter to be learned
Technology [TK]: foundational and new technologies
Pedagogy [PK]: purpose, values & methods used to teach and evaluate
learning
PCK: What pedagogical strategies make concepts difficult or easy to
learn?
TCK: How is content represented and transformed by the application of
technology?
TPK: What pedagogical strategies enable you to get the most out of
existing technologies for teaching & evaluating learning?

13. • Content focus: What content does this lesson focus on?
• Pedagogical focus: What pedagogical practices are
employed in this lesson?
• Technology used: What technologies are used?
• PCK: Do these pedagogical practices make concepts clearer and/or foster deeper
learning?
• TCK: Does the use of technology help represent the content in diverse ways or
maximize opportunities to transform the content in ways that make sense to the
learner?
• TPK: Do the pedagogical practices maximize the use of existing technologies for
teaching and evaluating learning?
• TPCK:How might things need to change if one aspect of the lesson were to be
different or not available?
TPACK Guidelines

14. How do you do it?-- TPACK and Understanding by Design
Teacher and Students as Co-Curriculum Designers
1. What do you want to
know and be able to do at
the end of this activity,
project, or lesson?
2. What evidence will you
collect to prove mastery?
(What will you create or
do)
3. What is the best way to
learn what you want to
learn?
4. How are you making your
learning transparent?
(connected learning)

15. ● Design a learning experience that is engaging and
worthwhile to both student & teacher
● Plan with the essential features that include
o the use of appropriate technology
o in a particular content area
o as part of a pedagogical strategy
o within a given educational context
o to develop students’ knowledge of a particular topic
or meet an educational objective or student need

16. ● Content -
o focus on important knowledge
o create a ‘need to know’
● Pedagogy -
o use instructional tools to go deeper in the learning
o think inquiry
● Integrate tool -
o technology is used to accelerate and deepen the quality of
learning--not all at once, but over time.
o remember students want it
o if it’s available 24/7-- then make it purposeful
o create real life problem solving that is meaningful & relevant

20. Civil War Voice Wall
● What key figures or events
significantly contributed or were
considered the turning point or
defining moment of the Civil
War?
● Three phases: research, writing,
production
● Use story draft/images to create
documentary using iMovie
● Technology includes iPad or
Netbook, research sites, Google
Doc, iMovie, Photo Booth
Great Pacific Garbage Patch
● What is it?
● How does it harm wildlife?
● How does the ban on plastic
bags impact the patch? What are
the benefits?
● Student groups produce
commercial (using iMovie)
promoting the ban of plastic
bags in their own city
● Technology includes Edmodo or
Google Doc, research sites,
iPads, iMovie

Share (Publish & Participate) –
Connect (Comment and
Cooperate) –
Remixing (building on the
ideas of others) –
Collaborate (Co-construction of
knowledge and meaning) –
Collective Action (Social Justice, Activism, Service Learning)

24. TPACK in Practice
Step 1- Best Practice
Researchers at Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) have
identified nine instructional strategies that are most likely to improve student achievement
across all content areas and across all grade levels. These strategies are explained in the
book Classroom Instruction That Works by Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane
Pollock.
1. Identifying similarities and differences
2. Summarizing and note taking
3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition
4. Homework and practice
5. Nonlinguistic representations
6. Cooperative learning
7. Setting objectives and providing feedback
8. Generating and testing hypotheses
9. Cues, questions, and advance organizers

25. What are specific strategies you use in your classroom
for a particular discipline?

26. Step 2- What Tool Fits?
