Reflection results for NETS-T Module: Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
1. I I design and customize technology-enriched learning experiences that enable students to demonstrate mastery of specific content and/or technology standards as well as engage students in developing research questions about real-world issues or problems, proposing and evaluating multiple creative solutions, and presenting a report to an audience, either face-to-face or virtually, for feedback.
Too Cool for School? No Way! Using the TPACK framework: You can have your hot tools.

This article from School 2.0’s website highlights technology. Cleverly defining technology to different groups of people. To students technology could mean Bluetooth and iPods/iPads. To those born in the 70/80’s websites and laptop computers can be considered technology. With the advent of various types of technology, the article explains how to use various types of technology appropriately in the classroom. The article explains to use technology not just as a tool but apart of a teacher’s lesson in the classroom. The author introduces the TPACK frame work and defines it as teachers coordinating content, technology and pedagogy into teaching. The author brings up a few examples of the TPACK framwork; using of twitter, visual search engines and DJ software to teach different types of content in the classroom. The use of DJ software to teach math was the most interesting because it incorporates music as well as technology. Defining how music is orchestrated, how songs and symphonies are made up of well composed beats at regular intervals/fractions. Having students “make beats” have fun and learn fractions at the same time. Overall the article was very informative and gave a good introductory insight on how to repurpose technology for the classroom.
I like the idea of using technology as part of a teacher's lesson plan. Those born in the 70/80's, how about those of us born in the 50's. LOL

Hi Thao. It's interesting that we focused on the same NETS-T. It is one thing to encourage the use of technology and to model appropriate use of technology, but it is another to actaully tackle the design and development of technology . . . especially for those of us born before the 90s :) I'm glad we are finding tools to help make the task a little less overwhelming!
