TPACK

This is my second post for my blog. This week we talked about TPACK. So you ask, "What is TPACK?". TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Shulman’s idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge help shape the idea of TPACK. Let's face it, in this ever growing world, technology changes everyday. I believe technology is a great tool to use in the classroom. I don't have a smart board or a computer for the children in my classroom. I have seen smart board used in classroom and I think it is awesome. I seen children reading stories from the smart board, having a dance party, and finding answers to their question. I like the idea that teachers could use technology to better help students with their learning and also help with advancing their daily lesson plans. Heck I learn something new through technology almost everyday! I believe that TPACK will keep on advancing and more teachers will be using this idea.

What I hope to get out of TIE 300

This is my very first blog. I have never blogged before and therefore I am nervous of what the out come will be. Will I love it? Will I hate it? These questions run through my brain as I am curious to find out what the outcome will be after 10 weeks of this course. This is my first quarter at NLU and I am working on my B.A. in Early Childhood Education (E.C.E) and hope to go on to get my Master degree in Special Education. I am very nervous about taking this class but hope to learn more about technology use in the classroom.

People are always saying that this is the new world of technology. Technology grows everyday and that is why I hope to learn whatever I can in this class so I can take what I learn and apply it to my everyday life. There is so much to learn and with the everyday growing world it is hard to keep up at times. My biggest concern about technology in the classroom is how to teach it to others. I am afraid of what the out come maybe if I fall back on the world of technology and that is what I am glad that this class is a requirement. This way I will not only help myself in growing, I will help others too. I hope to understand what technology today stands for children of the future. I hope to learn how and what I could provide to help children with this ever growing world. I also hope to understand more about technology and why it is important in today world.
