TPACK – the game
Make a list of possible technologies and discuss a realistic example of an activity you could use in your teaching.
Technology:…………..? Pedagogy: discussion Content: media literacy (“mediawijsheid”)
My advice?
Use TPACK
to find out about which elements of the model you already know a lot, and on which elements you can still improve;
to set personal learning objectives and to make conscious decisions on the integration of technology in your teaching.
