Hello there! Today as a part of working with technology in education, I tried MindMeister which is an online application for creating mind maps with incredible ease. Here are my mind maps on two models, TPACK and SAMR, for successful technology integration into lessons.
TPACK MODEL
TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) is a model which focuses on three main knowledge- technology, pedagogy, content- and their combinations in the successful and effective implementation of educational technologies in classrooms, which is really important for understanding how to teach with technology.
Content knowledge(CK) is what teachers know about the subject area they teach from facts and concepts to theories. Pedagogical knowledge(PK), on the other hand, is how they teach by using instructional strategies, teaching methods, and assessment. PCK is the intersection of PK and CK, and it is about engaging students in learning concepts and skills by utilizing approaches. Technological knowledge(TK) is an additional component of the TPACK model as a requirement of 21st-century teaching and it focuses on how teachers use technology from selecting tools to integrating technology into the curriculum. The intersection of TK and CK-TCK- is how teachers can use technology in their subject area for effective learning while TPK represents the understanding of how to choose and manage technology for students.
SAMR MODEL
SAMR model constitutes of 4 tiers - substitution, augmentation, modification, redefinition- and substitution and augmentation are under the title of enhancement while modification and redefinition are under transformation. The first level, substitution, simply means replacing the traditional with the digital. For example, Providing PDF formats instead of worksheets in the classroom is a substitution. The second level, augmentation, is the level in which teachers incorporate interactive digital enhancements and elements along with digital tools in order to enhance lessons. At this level, teachers use other functions provided by those digital tools. To give an example, they can choose to gamify their lessons by making quizzes via applications such as Kahoot or students can make presentations by using PowerPoint or Prezi with multimedia tools. The third level, modification, requires a change in the way of teaching. At this level, teachers can make use of learning management systems like Edmodo, Google Classroom, or many others to provide new channels of communication by working online. Lastly, at the redefinition level, teachers use the technology to create new tasks that were previously impossible in the classroom environment. They can enable their students to share their works with their peers or larger communities on social platforms.
