Task 2: Translator

Hi! I’m Andrea.
As a translator, I have been asked to collect the five main terms of this week’s work.

“TPACK” (1) has been the principal concept we have been working. We can define it as a complicated interaction between three different types of knowledge, which are crucial to understand the dynamics of the task. The technological knowledge refers to the ability to use the technological tools. The pedagogical one is related to the way of teaching as well as to the methods and procedures to act in the classroom. To complete this cycle, it is necessary to mention the content knowledge, that is, teachers’ wisdom about the subject matter.

The interaction between these terms leads to the appearance of three new subdimensions:

- The pedagogical content knowledge (2) emerges from the connection between pedagogy and content, and it can be defined as a way of teaching certain knowledge to the students (brainstorming).

- The technological pedagogical knowledge (3) involves the changes that technology can make in the teaching and learning processes (how to attract the attention of students using particular technological tools and resources).

- The technological content knowledge (4) is a useful and effective way of managing information and data that results from the mutual impact between technology and content (using the calculator to solve problems, for example).

All these terms wouldn’t be possible without the existence of the context (5), the set of circumstances and facts that modulate actions and possibilities, such as teachers’ professional development or use of technology, in extremely powerful ways.

Task 2: Reflection

After reading what we had to do for the task of this week, we were asked for doing an information map based on the article related to what TPACK is. In the first moment, almost nobody would know what exactly is and what it is for. We guess Linda taught us this to introduce her students in the world of technology and to be familiar with some advances it brings. When our group had to decide what exactly to do, it was a little bit difficult due to it is not something common to do in this degree. However, when we all knew the official idea of what we wanted to present, we worked as a family. This is what we have enjoyed the most so, we have come to the conclusion that, probably, it was one of the main things Linda wanted to show us; the necessity to collaborate and work as a real team. Nevertheless, it hasn’t been so easy as it seems, because of several problems that needed to be solved and we didn’t know how to do it. As a result of doing this task, we are aware of the importance of ...

Task 7.2: Reflection

Hi everyone!! I am here again to make a brilliant reflection about this week's task called Complexity & relationships . As you know, last week we worked Complexity of schools , but... what about connections and relationships in school? After reading the chapter that Linda, our teacher, published for us, we got some general ideas about it. But, we got a deeper understanding when we had to think of some dialogues for making five short plays. On the one hand, we thought about reflecting creative fiction situations which included the different connections and relationships. But, thinking deeper, we realized they are not fiction situations, but real ones. This is mainly because, in our daily lives as future teachers, we will probably have to get through most of these examples we have created. And... we believe there is not a better way to understand it than putting ourselves in some real teachers' shoes. Unfortunately, it was not possible to play our sketches on Wednesda...
