DCL - Week 5

This Week’s Topic

Leading and planning classroom innovation (SAMR and TPACK).

Flipped Preparation this Week

Completing flipped preparation will give yourself and others the opportunity to extend beyond content in the breakout rooms. Help fellow classmates by coming prepared to participate and contribute.

This week’s Flip preparation has 3 parts:

First familiarise yourself with TPACK and SAMR models. We suggest you watch TPACK in 2 minutes, read this blog article where the seven components of TPACK have been explained in more detail, and watch SAMR in 120 seconds

Then add a slide to your DIGITAL 1 slideset where you use TPACK and/or SAMR to ideate how technology links to your DIGITAL 1 idea. You could for example reflect where your knowledge strengths and weaknesses are relating to your plan and/or consider ways in which a particular technology might enable you to move beyond Substitution and Augmentation to Modify or Redefine learning activities. (This can be done as a group if you are planning a group assignment.)

Lastly, screencast either your TPACK your SAMR reflections and upload that short video to #january2020 Slack channel (and also be prepared to share in a breakout discussion) with #SAMR or #TPACK.  (This can be done as a group if you are planning a group assignment.) This quick How to Screencast Slide -video might be helpful to watch.    

Inspirational Quote of the Week

Next practices – emergent innovations that could open up new ways of working – are much more likely to come from thoughtful, experienced, self confident practitioners working in partnership with other professionals and collectively trying to find new and more effective solutions to intractable problems.
