NETS - currently NETS is petitioning the Obama administration to invest in classroom broadband connectivity to ensure that all students are ready for college and 21^st century careers.  Only 13 percent of U.S. schools have the broadband access they need to give them the same internet access as most Americans have at home, work or even in a coffee shop.  Network speed can vary in schools from building to building and classroom to classroom. NETS is encouraging everyone to sign the petition on their web site, https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition  for classroom broadband access.  They are also asking educators to test their internet speed to demonstrate the need to invest in upgrading school networks. http://www.schoolspeedtest.org/

 

 

Notes on TPACK

What it is.  Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) “a framework that identifies the knowledge teachers need to teach effectively with technology".  The TPACK framework extends Shulman’s idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

 

Three primary forms of knowledge:

               Content (CK)

               Pedagogy (PK)

               Technology (TK)

Integrated – new knowledge formed at intersection

               Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)

               Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)

               Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)

              

Intersection of all knowledge types

               Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)
