TPACK questions

What is the content you are focusing on in your science lesson?

4th grade standard 5 objective 2: Describe the common plants and animals found in Utah environments and how these organisms have adapted to the environment in which they live.

What is the pedagogy you are using and why is it a good fit with the content?

Classifying and describing relationships

What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?

Kidspiration: This was the perfect choice for our content and pedagogy because it allows children to brainstorm and apply what they learn in a fun, visual way. It is a great resource for categorizing.

  1. I really enjoyed your project! One of the things that we are trying to get you to think about and elaborate on here is what advantages does this have over a method that doesn't involve technology use. I think that you are starting to get at it with the visual nature of the tool - it would be very difficult (time consuming) to give each student this kind of experience including the visual element without the technology.

  2. I like your explanations of how TPCK applies...very simple and to the point, so it was easy to understand.
