TPACK&SAMR in Language Teaching

Hello!!!

Today I would like to say a few words about two terms called TPACK and SAMR.


These two frameworks emerged in language teaching because lately technology is a big part of life. To ease and create a better class environment, these two frameworks are needed.



     Let's learn what is TPACK is first. This framework is created by Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler. TPACK focuses on technological knowledge(TK), pedagogical knowledge(PK), and content knowledge(CK). It offers an efficient approach to problems that teachers are facing in implementing technology to classes. According to TPACK framework, some specific technological tools like software, application, etc. are very important to show and guide students with a better understanding of the subject. 
      In TPACK framework, three types of knowledge- technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge- are combined in various different ways. As you can see in the picture, they are;
  • Technological Pedagogical Knowledge
  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge
  • Technological Content Knowledge
      Since the day it is published, in 2006, TPACK has become one of the most popular frameworks that integrate technology with education(ed-tech).


       Secondly, I want to introduce you to The SAMR Model. SAMR Model is also a framework for the integration of education and technology. It is published by Dr. Ruben Puentedura. SAMR Model has four different stages. They are;
  • Substitution
  • Augmentation
  • Modification
  • Redefinition
      Substitution is the step that technology is integrated into education in a traditional, simple way. Augmentation has the same way for integrating technology into education but in this stage, educators wanted to ask him/herself if the technology increases student's productivity or not. These two steps, substitution, and augmentation are considered as "the Enhancement Steps".
      In the Modification step, technology is used for significant task redesign. It means that an actual change in the design of the lesson and its learning outcome. The redefinition step represents the peak of how technology can transform a student's experience. These two steps are called "the Transformation Steps".

     These two frameworks-TPACK and SAMR Model- are highly important in teaching language. Knowledge of these two frameworks can change a teacher's teaching in a very effective way.

UNESCO Loved It: Thinglink

Resim
Hello everybody!   Today's topic is a platform that is rewarded by UNESCO for   ICT in Education Prize. It is called Thinglink.   Thinglink is a platform that enables users to create interactive images and videos. It also offers VR and 360 degrees images.     It is very easy to understand the process of creating an interactive image or video because when you sign in to the website, it shows you a tutorial video. After that, you can see a bunch of inspiring projects to get help from.      In a classroom environment, thinglink will be very helpful to create new projects for students. Creating interactive presentations can be beneficial for students. They can experience Thinglink and learn more effectively. They can also interact with each other while working in groups and create an interactive image. With the 360 degrees feature, students can experience a unique learning way.

Animoto!

Resim
Hello everyone!! Today I am going to talk about how we can use animation in language teaching!!      Using technological tools in education is very effective I already said that in my earlier posts. Today I am using an animation maker called Animoto to my imaginary students to practice "introducing yourself".    I created an animation in animoto to create an example for my students. In this animation, I introduce myself. I tell my name, where I come from, how old I am, and which school I study.  I use the specific patterns from "introducing myself" like present simple tense. In this way, they learn how to introduce themselves in a simple way. Also, they can create one to see what they have learned.  You can reach my animation from here :)
