TPACK AND SAMR

Hello guys :) I hope all of you doing well! Today i am not going to talk about applications or websites that are useful for learning enhancement but SAMR and TPACK! Let's start with TPACK!

When we are planning lesson activities with technological equipments by considering the frame for, TPACK, we can prepare more suitable plans for our learners according to their pedogogic needs. There are 3 main components which affects each others. They are: Content Knowledge (CK); Pedagogical Knowledge (PK); and Technological Knowledge (TK).

Also, there are three intersection component; Technological Content Knowledge (TKC); Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK); and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge  (TPK).

Let's clarify them:

• TK (Technological Knowledge ) is about having knowledge about how technological devices use like smartboards, tablet pc or laptops.
• CK (Content Knowledge) is about having knowledge about the topic that is taught or topic that have been learnt likes ideas or notions.
• PK (Pedagogical Knowledge ) is about knowledge of the teacher like how can s/he taught a topic to learners like task-based lessons. 
• TPK (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge) it is about choosing the most appropriate technological options while doing a task. 
• TCK (Technological Content Knowledge) it is about transferring your technological information to efficient teaching process. 
• PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge) it is about choosing the most appropriate teaching and learning method for the course and then planning the lesson.

Now it's turn for SAMR!

It is created by Ruben Puentedura. It is actually not a framework but a tool that guide the teachers. It has four components. They are Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. 

Let's clarify them:

• Substitution as it names refers there is a substitution between the previous tools and technological devices. Like instead of pen they use keyboard.
• Augmentation still has substitution but there is also a improvement. Like students can use google drive.
• Modification is about a change in learning. Students get more consicious about how they learn and think. They get more social learners, they interact with each other. Like they can share their fold that is supported by links with world. 
• Redefinition is about definition of new education via using technology. In here, students can use web 2.0 tools.
