TPCK

When to use ICT?

When it allows students to …….•understand the learned concepts better•Improve their higher order thinking skills by engaging them in inquiry-based learning

– create and interact in a learning environment– connect with data/ information in several formats – collect data/ Information – analyze data/ Information

•Stimulate students’ motivation

ICT use has to serve a purpose!

From Engaging Students in Powerful Learning for the 21st century, Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach

Significant Findings on ICT integration

• Effectiveness of technology use depend on teaching approaches used in conjunction with the technology

• How teachers integrate matters- not just the technology alone

• It needs to be about the learning, not the technology. And teachers need to choose the right tool for the right task.

• As long as we see content, technology and pedagogy as separate – technology will always be just an add on.

Things to consider

• Based on objectives– Appropriate tool– Appropriate equipment– AVOID ICT ABUSE

• Guidance, support• Objectives and manner / criteria of

assessment should be clear from the very beginning

Review: Benefits of Collaboration

• Students can clarify and organize their ideas well enough to verbalize them to others.

• Students have opportunities to elaborate on what they have learned.

• Students are exposed to the views of others – views that may reflect a more accurate understanding of the topics under discussion.

• Students discover how people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds may interpret the world in different but valid ways.

How can ICT help your students achieve those benefits of collaboration?

Why Telecollaboration?

E-Community of Learners

• Engaging reluctant students and promoting "more egalitarian classrooms”

• Enabling activities that were previously not possible, e.g., Corresponding with "experts"

• Increase students’ comprehension of issues through contact with "real" people in "real" places.

• Building inter-cultural understanding and tolerance.

Collaboration Approaches

Examples of Telecollaboration

• Collaborative writing/ Project management: – Google doc: project report, learning languages, collective

writing– Wiki: daily journals, recording project outputs

• In-class/out of class discussion:– Text-based discussion: Email, Wikispaces, Facebook – Discussion on multimedia materials: Voicethread– Live discussion at remote: Skype, Twitter, MSN

Telecollaboration

Synchronous•Chat (YM, GTalk, FB)•Teleconference •Videoconference (Skype, YM, Google Hangout, FB)

Challenges in Tele-collaboration

• What do you think would be the challenges when engaging in tele-collaboration?

Plan well, establish rules, and keep monitoring your students’ progress!!!!

Plan well, establish rules, and keep monitoring your students’ progress!!!!

• # of students in groups• Structured worksheets • Brainstorm and work with pencil and paper first. • Use your student as resource person• Etiquette, privacy and safety

Some useful tips to manage and facilitate telecollaboration

• Go through your Activity System Table (Action Plan) and try to enhance the activities by adding ICTs. Always remember that you don’t use ICT for the sake of using ICT. Keep asking yourself whether and to what extent your activity plan would benefit from using ICT.

Your tasks for this session:1. Identify the activities that you want to use ICT2. Justify why you want to add ICT (benefits?)3. Name ICT tools that you want to use (consider relevance)4. Specify your role in this activity (and your strategies)

Activity

1. Group work2. Upload your output. 3. If possible, read and comment on other groups’

postings.4. GROUP PRESENTATIONS
