Pertti
Any relation to persons living or dead is completely coincidental.
But what about their ICT-profile?
ICT ease of use?
Attitudes twd ICT in Education?
ICT self-efficacy?
Technological knowledge?
A belief in his capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce performance attainments
Pertti made his own syllabus.
Why should I use ICT?
ICT in education...
WHY?
Economic rationale Social/cultural rationale Educational rationale (incl. Catalytic rationale)
International comparisons
The students enjoy his stories!
And ICT
doesn't seem to have any effect on learning performance after all...
Effectiveness of ICT in education?
Wat werkt (niet)?
Hoe komt dat volgens jou?
J@f is an interested daredevil.
He wants to use ICT as much as possible.
- ICT can
- enhance adaptive learning (e.g. Quizlet.com)
- ICT can motivate students (e.g. by using pictures/videos, eg. https://www.archives.gov/education)
- stimulate creativity (e.g. digital storytelling)
- help understanding complex topics (e.g. simulations)
- support collaboration (e.g. blog of wiki)
- enhance independent learning (e.g. webquest, online learning path)
- provide insight in the progress of students (bv. learning analytics)
- ...
But YOU are the link between the potential of ICT and education
J@f integrates ... TPACK!
Content Knowledge (CK)
Central facts, concepts, theories & procedures of a particular discipline, + knowledge of the way in which the field is expanding.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
houdt in dat leraren kennis moeten hebben van didactische strategieën die het leren van een bepaalde vakinhoud bevordert.
Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)
Begrijpen welke specifieke ICT-toepassingen het meest geschikt zijn om de vakinhoud inzichtelijk en begrijpelijk te maken.
Technologie kan ook een bepaald vakgebied beïnvloeden.
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
Leraren moeten inzicht hebben van hoe onderwijsleerprocessen kunnen veranderen als je bepaalde ICT-toepassingen op een specifieke manier gebruikt.

TPACK?
Let's play!
Create a scenario:
CK: How plants grow
PK: ?
TK: ?
Context: ?
Digital storytelling
What about the
learning goals?
Technology Push?
Technology pull?
Example: slides.com
Nice model, but how to blend...
Oops! Two learning spaces?
Differentiation
Preparation time
Active processing of learning materials
Focus on support & feedback
Perceptions of students
Improved ICT-skills
More interaction between teacher & students
Perceptions of teachers
Efficient use of the F2F meetings
Train the students
WHY?
The question is NOT whether we blend ...
but HOW we blend!
flipping the classroom
1st question: Why F2F?
Integrate?
Experience?
Activate?
Demonstrate?
Next: What can students do online?
Instruction
Coach
exercise
Collaborate
What about the blend?
