EDT201 ICT in teaching and learning

  The TPACK model is a framework designed to help educators effectively integrate technology into their teaching. It focuses on three key areas of knowledge that educators need to possess for successful technology integration: Technological Knowledge (TK): This refers to the understanding of how technology works and how to operate different technological tools. It includes knowledge of specific software, hardware, and troubleshooting skills. Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): This encompasses the knowledge of different teaching strategies and instructional methods. It involves understanding how students learn best and how to design engaging and effective lessons. Content Knowledge (CK): This refers to the in-depth knowledge of the specific subject matter the educator is teaching. It's the understanding of the concepts, facts, and principles within that discipline. TPACK Lesson plan 2.

 SAMR is an ICT integration model which functions similar to the levels of thinking in Bloom's taxonomy. SAMR has four levels namely; Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. Lower thinking skills such as remembering, understanding, applying are associated with substitution and augmentation level of SAMR model. These involve using basic technologies to replace or enhance the traditional tools. Higher thinking levels such as analyzing, evaluating, creating can be used in the modification and redefinition  Lesson plan no.2 Teacher’s name: Tshering Dema Subject : science  Topic: Degradable and Non- degradable Things  Class: IV Time : 45 minutes  TLM: video clip, google docs, quiz, pictures of degradable and non-degradable things   ICT model : SAMR  Previous knowledge : material we use every day Man-made and natural things  Learning objectives  At the end of the lesson, each student will be able to ; Define what degradab...

 Middle Level ICT Integration  Today we were oriented on using PhET simulation. It originally stood for "Physics Education Technology ", is a project at the University of Colorado that creates free, interactive simulations of science, social studies, and math concepts that is beneficial for the students in better learning. It is because I feel that it will engage the students as it engaged me. On top of that it is easy to use and every student can get access to it. PhET simulation can give a virtual experience where students can feel as if they are doing it manually. For example; designing a circuit. There are numerous benefit of using PhET simulation.   Enhanced engagement and learning - it makes learning more interactive and engaging by fostering a deeper understanding of scientific and mathematical concept. For example, in designing a circuit   students are actively engaged by connecting cells with wires in order to light the bulb.  Improve conceptual u...

 Why do people blog?             There are about 600 millions bloggers according to the latest statistics and there are various reason for them to blog. Some of the reasons are;  To share and to gain knowledge - when bloggers are blogging they have to do lots of  researches to give an authentic write ups to the viewers and bloggers are able to share their knowledge while blogging Hobby - many people like to write, write for themselves and explore the world, they were able to do so through blogging networking - blog connects all the people from the world, and bloggers were able to interact with different people from different corners of the world fame/popularity- through blogging people are known by the world, for most of the bloggers are famous and popular To earn- more people are interested in blogging these days as they are able to earn through their contents  advertising and branding - since blog page are available to every...
