Plan your lessons and the goals of your lessons as well as including important content
1. Philosophy of Teachnology
1.1. Similar to a teaching philosophy in regards to technology
1.2. How to make appropriate and effective use of technology in the classroom
1.3. Can address an educators personal stance on technology use in the classroom
1.4. I believe that when technology is used properly, it allows both students and educators to access new and improved ways of learning that were not previously accessible so long as the technology is implemented appropriately and properly.
2. 21st Century Teaching
2.1. Three levels of knowledge for the 21st century learner
2.1.1. Foundational Knowledge
2.1.1.1. Content
2.1.1.2. Information Knowledge
2.1.1.3. Cross Disciplinary Knowledge
2.1.2. Meta Knowledge
2.1.2.1. Problem Solving and Critical Thinking
2.1.2.2. Communication and Collaboration
2.1.2.3. Creativity
2.1.3. Humanistic Knowledge
2.1.3.1. Life and Job Skills
2.1.3.2. Cultural Competence
2.1.3.3. Ethical and Emotional Awareness
3. TPACK
3.1. Three Types of Knowledge
3.1.1. Technological Knowledge
3.1.1.1. Knowledge of technology tools and how to implement them. Does the tool do what i need it to? is it simple enough to use? is its use appropriate?
3.1.2. Pedagogical Knowledge
3.1.2.1. This is about how to teach. are the tasks suited to my learners? are the tasks unclear in any way? does the order of the tasks make sense?
3.1.3. Content Knowledge
3.1.3.1. Do students have all of the content knowledge required to complete the task? or do i need to improve on their knowledge base first?
3.2. TPACK is where all three of these types of knowledge overlap and is usually represented by a Venn diagram.
