Technology Frameworks

1. PICRAT: Passive, Interactive, Creative, Replacement, Amplifying, Transforming

1.1. All of these learning ideas can be very helpful. An educator can combine and multiply any of them to create a successful learning environment.

2. SAMR: Subsitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition

2.2. Augmentation: teaches as a tool substitute, offers a slight functional improvement.

2.3. Modification: teaches a significant lesson or task redesign with the technology.

2.4. Redefinition: teaches a totally new way with new creative ideas for the lesson or task with technology.

3. TPACK: Technological knowledge, Pedagogical knowledge, Content knowledge

3.1. Technological knowledge: the knowledge of what the educator knows and how they can teach that tech.

3.2. Content knowledge: the content of what you are teaching.

3.3. Pedagogical Knowledge: this is how you teach, using different methods, ideas, and strategies.

3.4. PCK: Pedagogical Content Knowledge. This is how your knowledge intersects with how you teach the content.

3.4.1. Example: Educators can use what they already know such as a memory of how they had best learned the materials and apply to the lesson.

3.5. TCK: Technological Content Knowledge. This is how the technology is used with the content for successful learning.

3.5.1. Example: You can use a memorization game with students to help them memorize the content for more successful test scores.

3.6. TPK: Technological Pedagogical Knowledge. This is how you will chose what technology will work best with your students.

3.6.1. Example: Kindergarteners will need simpler technology devices vs high schoolers are more capable of higher technology.
