THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge
(TPACK) Describes how teachers’ understanding of technologies
and pedagogical content knowledge interact with one another to produce effective teaching with technology (Mishra & Koehler, 2006)
TPACK is an understanding that emerges from an interaction of content, pedagogy, and technology knowledge

A classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web. can be as short as a single class period or as long
as a month-long unit; usually (though not always) involve group work,
with division of labor among students who take on specific roles or perspectives;
are built around resources that are preselected by the teacher. Students spend their time USING information, not LOOKING for it.

WHEN IS INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY A FAUX PAS?
When technology is utilized in the wrong capacity Using a blog for collaboration when a wiki would
better support collaboration When a teacher uses a personal Facebook page
rather than a classroom page and/or an educational social networking site.
Using a Podcast when a visual representation is necessary
Implementing a Webquest that doesn’t relate to the material being covered
Utilizing a Polling site when computer access and/or cell phones are not allowed.
WHEN IS INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY A FAUX PAS?
Outdated Technology Dated computers Slow Internet connections
No or Little IT/Administration Support Blocked Web sites Networking/Hardware Issues
Cost vs. Benefit When the cost is more than the benefit of
utilizing the technology
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE
All school districts have unique rules. Understand what is required for Web 2.0 tool to
be integrated into the classroom. Many instances of resistance can be overcome
if the gatekeepers learn more about the tools and usability.
Be informed about minor students Good idea to always get parental consent

USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE CONTINUED
Abide by copyright and intellectual property laws
Remember that once uploaded content is forever
ALWAYS remember that not every student has computer or Internet access.
