TPACK

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework that helps to create a superior learning environment. The concept provides a comprehensive picture of why implementing technology into classroom management practices engages the students attention and gives them a visual target. This concept helps to pull various teaching strategies into one area. In order to accomplish a successful teaching environment, a teacher must be knowledgeable in the following areas of, subject, pedagogical and technological. TPACK teaches the teacher to teach with a purpose. Teachers will learn to connect the different areas to reach the end goal, which is to differentiate the lessons to enable all students learn.

It makes sense to teach with structure. I heard on one of the videos that "no matter how well the teacher knows the content, they must be able to project that knowledge to the students in a way the student learns". TPACK makes the teacher plan the lesson using all three areas of an instructional design. 

I plan on using this strategy in my future classroom, for sure.

Copyright Laws on the World Wide Web, Who knew?

I am aware of the definition of "plagiarism", which simply means "don't claim someone else's work or ideas and pass them off as your own. During our educational years we have been taught to cite our work when we use other people's work. Although citing our work comes in different formats (APA, MLA, CMS, etc) abiding to this rule keeps us out of trouble. After reviewing and reading the information regarding copyright, I am astonished. I assumed that most information on the web was free game. I believed that once information was posted to the web, such as pictures, news articles, blogs, Facebook, etc, i became public, therefore usable information. After reviewing the "Creative Commons" videos, and Understanding "Fair Use in the Digital World video, I learned that my assumptions were wrong. I know now that "plagiarism" is extended to information on the web. As a teacher, it is important to inform students where information comes from...
