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

Different profiles:

who's ready?

And who are you?

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)?

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)
- ...

YOU are the link between the potential of ICT and education

Content Knowledge (CK)

Central facts, concepts, theories & procedures 
of a particular discipline,
+ knowledge of the way in which the field is expanding.

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 Content Knowledge (TCK)

Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)

Leraren moeten inzicht hebben van hoe onderwijsleerprocessen kunnen veranderen als je bepaalde ICT-toepassingen op een specifieke manier gebruikt.

Je moet rekening houden met de doelgroep en de situatie.

Om ICT met succes toe te passen is kennis van vakinhoud, didactiek en technologie niet toereikend: ook kennis van doelgroep, school, infrastructuur en omgeving is noodzakelijk.
