<p>I absolutely agree that TPACK "is the key to effective technology integration in any given school district." I first learned of TPACK two and half years ago in a graduate tech class (I am currently working on my masters in IT). It has become the foundational framework that I use to structure the teaching in my classroom and I have seen remarkable results with my students. </p>

<p>I absolutely agree that TPACK "is the key to effective technology integration in any given school district."

It has become the foundational framework that I use to structure the teaching in my classroom and I have seen remarkable results with my students. </p>
<p>I readily share new ideas and concepts with my colleagues. Many of the teachers that I work with welcome the knowledge and understanding that I have attempted to share about technology integration according to TPACK (I have shared my TPACK guide, TPACK.org, YouTube videos, etc), but I would like to share this with my entire district and administration. Yet, I do not feel qualified to teach my entire district about TPACK. I am still learning, but I also feel a sense of urgency to share this theory with others.</p>
<p>Does anyone know are there people that will come to your school district to do PD training on TPACK? If not, does anyone have any suggestions about doing an out-reach to the teachers and administrators of my school district?</p>

Good afternoon!<br />

I am starting with my PhD on the use of multimedia instruction to enhance learning in multigrade education in the Western Cape of South Africa following a design-based research approach. Multigrade education is where one teacher teachers two or more grade simultaneously. Although multimedia isn't a new thing, the effective use of technology in the classroom still have along way top go, especially because of the lack of efficient teachers training.

I am starting with my PhD on the use of multimedia instruction to enhance learning in multigrade education in the Western Cape of South Africa following a design-based research approach. Multigrade education is where one teacher teachers two or more grade simultaneously. Although multimedia isn't a new thing, the effective use of technology in the classroom still have along way top go, especially because of the lack of efficient teachers training. There are a lot of other reasons as well! Training the teachers in these multigrade classes is vital and I want to use this framework to do so. I also want to use it as a guide for the design and development of the product and for the needs analysis in the beginning. Am I missing something? I am still learning!

I just finish a paper about literature review of TPACK. Although it do provide some inspiration to the technology integration, my interperation is TPACK is not a framwork, model for the way how to deisgn technology integration. It is about the knowledge teachers must acquire when doing TI, but not the actually progress teachers do in TI..<br />
My question is : How can TPACK "transfor" from the knowledge teacher needed to the progress of TI. I am reviewing some framework for TI (like LoTi, NTeQ) now,…

This sums up my experience and frustration. I am using TPACK as a framework to make Administrators aware of what is needed to support teachers in successfully integrating technology into their practice.

Jeannette, thanks for your posting here. In some way we are all new to TPACK, particularly given how fast technology and contexts for learning are evolving. This discussion, on the other hand, hasn't really moved much in the past few months, which is not surprising, given how busy people are. That said, there are many resources that you can followup. The TPACK wiki (<a href="http://www.tpack.org" target="_blank">www.tpack.org</a>) is one, as my blog (…

I also work in educational technology professional development with K-12 teachers, Dan. I think (and I'm very new to TPACK and its implications) that the framework gives teachers meaning and a visual understanding of how the three areas work together for effective learning. Teachers often want to view technology in isolation, as a separate lesson, and this provides a HUGE barrier to true integration. If teachers understand the valuable learning outcomes, as demonstrated through this framework,…

Well said Dawn. The only thing I would add to your last sentence is to rephrase it as follows: When I can give them the technology skills required to meet an instructional need for <b>teaching specific content</b>..." etc. etc.<br />
<br />
The words in bold are the ones I added.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the more I think about it the goal of instructional technologist it not as much to teach as to facilitate teachers to help them discover their own TPACK rather than "hand it" to them.<br />
<br />
take care<br />

Heidi,<br />
I love the quote too. And if we have two or three students that need holes but not enough money for three drills, how about if they cooperate and share that drill, maybe even learn more about hole drilling from each other.<br />
I'm afraid we have too many instructional technologist out there enamored by the tools (twittering about their latest iPhone apps) but forgetting that "instruction" comes first. Too often the tool or lack of tool or banned tool is the topic of conversation. I have…

I'm afraid we have too many instructional technologist out there enamored by the tools (twittering about their latest iPhone apps) but forgetting that "instruction" comes first. Too often the tool or lack of tool or banned tool is the topic of conversation. I have always found teachers to be quite creative in making the most of the tools (or egg carton or paper towel role) they have available when their instructional goals were clear.<br />
I like the way TPACK puts all the components in perspective for me as a technology facilitator working with individual teachers and providing school/district staff developments. By acknowledging a teacher's expertise in their content area and pedagogical skills, they are less threatened by the technology and are more likely to see the benefits for their students. When I can give them the technology skills required to meet an instructional need, I find they are more likely to come back for more.

One of the struggles we face in K12 education is to help teachers see the need for integration of curriculum delivery. In the classroom our students face content categorically. They are taught Math, Language Arts, Social Studies etc. as separate areas of knowledge. Outside of the classroom, in the real world, content is integrated and one subject area impacts the other. It is time for the "experts" to begin to help change this pedagogy, so that we can begin to see that change in the classroom…

Technology is changing the way our students interface with the world around them, this is the reality, this needs to be reflected in the classroom so that PCK in the classroom aligns with what happens in the real world.
