21st Century Classrooms

Designing and Sharing

21st Century Classrooms Technology changed our

world irreversibly.

It changes the world our students are growing up in and are going out to as they leave to go to college and/or work.

Punya Mishra – Challenge to parenting, challenge to teaching

How do we make sense of it?

Technology in Action

Bridge from the past

To a bright future

If we teach today like we taught yesterday,

we rob our children of tomorrow

Emerging TechChris Dede – Harvard Graduate School,

Learning Technologies “Challenge is that many people focus on technology itself. You can’t just put tech in and expect magic. Learning Focus. We need to change that. Many interesting shifts are occurring. School’s Administrators are looking closely at embracing technology.”

How can we change this inclination and create learning activities that help students to learn better?

Research (Mishra & Koehler, 2006, Koehler & Mishra

, 2008), Harris & Hofer (2006, Harris, 2008) suggest that a logical approach to helping teachers to better integrate technologies in their teaching is to directly link students’ content-related learning needs with particular content-based learning activities and related educational technologies that will best support the activities’ successful implementation.

Activity

How are teachers using technology in instruction?

What is being used? List tools.

How it is used. Pedagogy?

How is Tech Used?Research schools. Just because the technology

is used does not change learning. Deep understanding did not come from just using technology. HOW it is used makes a difference.

All three components must be used well together to advance student knowledge in the 21st Century

Teachers need more that content, pedagogy and tech knowledge. They need to know how to take that tech and help it to transform learning.

Tpack Pieces

Activity 2 Content Focus – What content does this lesson focus on?

Pedagogical Focus- What pedagogical practices are used

Technology Focus – What technologies are used?

PCK-Do these pedagogical practices make concepts clearer and or foster deeper learning

TCK- Does this technology make the content better or transform it for the student for better learning?

TPK – Do the pedagogical practices maximize the use of existing tech for teaching and evaluating learning?

Going ForwardWhat changes can we make to blend these

concepts. What types of discussions can you have with teachers? With students?

How can we share student work online?
