Hey Guys,

As the semester is coming to an end, one of the last learning paths all the students were to complete a table show our understanding of some of the core frameworks and models of this course.

Honestly, I had to go back through the learning paths, lecture notes and PowerPoints to be able to do this, but I managed to do it. I think I am still unsure about some of the frameworks and models we learnt as there were quite a few throughout the course.

This table has been helpful for assignment 3 and for future pracs.

Theory Purpose Application to Assignment 3/Professional Experience
CLEM Model Help understand how to learn about a new ICT and how to use it to enhance student learning. If there are any new ICTs you need to use it might help your explorations.Hence might be useful as a part of the planning process for Part B.
TPACK framework The TPACK framework offers a way of thinking about the different types of knowledge required to design effective, ICT rich learning experiences. The types of knowledge required are content, pedagogical and technological. Once I know my context and what content I will be teaching I will be able to self access what knowledge I need to gain in order to build my TPACK.
Backwards design Helps plan units and or lessons based on assessment and unit outcomes. I will be able to use this when planning lessons to ensure I use learning experiences that teach the desired outcome.
SAMR Model The SAMR model helps you think about the quality of your ICT and Pedagogy and identify avenues for improvement Will help when planning and reflecting on my lessons to consider whether the ICT used are/where appropriate.
TIP Model Helps you decide what technology meets the concept for the lesson I will use backwards design as I am more familiar with it.
The 5Es Is a way of setting up lessons – mainly used for inquiry. 5 phases are Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate. Use to frame lessons.
WALT & WILF We Are Learning To and What am I Looking For.A tool used to tell students what the learning objectives are and what the successful criteria is in order to prove that learning. Its good to write this on the board at prac so students understand exactly what is being taught and what is expected of them by the end of the learning experience.
Connectivism Connectivism is a hypothesis of learning which emphasizes the role of social and cultural context. Connectivism is often associated with and proposes a perspective similar to Vygotsky’s ‘zone of proximal development’ (ZPD).These ideas suggest that the more connections you make to different people and perspectives the more you will learn. I will remember this when planning my lessons and ensure to use technology that reaches a wide authentic audience.
Bloom’s taxonomy A framework to help student’s use lower and higher order thinking. Will use in lessons to ensure students are not just learning and using knowledge but also being extended.
Postman’s 5 things Technology is always a trade offTechnology creates winners and losers

There is a powerful idea embedded in every technology.

Technology is ecological, not additive.

Technology tends to become mythic.
Toolbelt theory/TEST framework Test Framework – Task, Environment, Skills and tools. Allows student/teacher to break down a task and ensure they have everything they need to complete it or what other things they can use. Useful tool that will allow me to select the tools that may help with your student learning.
PKM A set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world & work more effectivelySteps of seek, sense and share.

Until my next post,
