ELA standards require that students utilize technology to produce and publish writing as well as communicate and collaborate, and the Math standards require students choose appropriate technology tools for performing various tasks.

TPACK* Learn about this model of the different areas of knowledge that are required for successful technology integration in the classroom. See it explained in meaningful ways. Play a game which helps illustrate the 3 areas (technology, content, pedagogy), explore the activity types, and discuss various scenarios to increase your understanding of the model.

*Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. The TPACK framework extends Shulman’s idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Effective technology integration for pedagogy around specific subject matter requires developing sensitivity to the dynamic, transactional relationship between these components of knowledge situated in unique contexts. Individual teachers, grade-level, school-specific factors, demographics, culture, and other factors ensure that every situation is unique, and no single combination of content, technology, and pedagogy will apply for every teacher, every course, or every view of teaching. --http://punya.educ.msu.edu/research/tpck/ Pedagogy 21st Century Leadership Learn how to support teachers as they make changes to their practice for teaching the 21st Century student. Participants will analyze the 21st Century paradigm, explore resources from educational leaders, and discuss strategies for guiding the process.
