The thing that makes a good teacher is not only their knowledge of the content being taught but the way they combine their content knowledge with their pedagogical knowledge, to help individualise the learning experience of each student in their care.
Sometimes, when we have professional discussions with other teachers about introducing digital technology into their classroom, they may feel we are attacking their pedagogical practises. Convincing these teachers of the benefits of digital technology without making them feel as though we are discrediting their experience can be challenging.
Since the beginning of this year I have been very fortunate to have had some regular conversations with Ray Nashar,(@RayNashar) a knowledgeable ADE and Edtech Coach. (Check out his curated website here!) Our last discussion revolved around conversations we have with teachers in our line of work. In particular how we can honour the past while encouraging teachers to embrace digital technology in their classroom. This is the essence of Mishra and Koehler’s TPCK framework
Below is a rundown of the main learning points I was able to take from our discussion.
