Understanding TPACK and SAMR Models

What does "TPACK" stand for?

• Teaching Pedagogical Content Knowledge

• Teaching Pedagogically Augmented Knowledge

• Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge

• Technological Pedagogical Content is Key

The three (3) main components of TPACK are...

• Pedagogical knowledge, or knowing HOW to teach. For example: how to manage a classroom and align your teaching to the objectives.

• Content knowledge, or knowing WHAT to teach. For example: what language is and how it's used in the real world.

• Augmentation, or integrating technology into the resource or learning task. For example: adding video resources to an online textbook.

• Technological knowledge, or a teacher's understanding of technology and how it can be applied. For example: what type of technology would be used when writing a paper or collecting data.

When putting the 3 components of TPACK together, we create other types of knowledge. One type is Pedagogical Content Knowledge, which is...

• a combination of what teachers know about technology and what they know about teaching to apply technology to various teaching situations.

• a combination of knowing what to teach and how technology can be used to teach it.

• a combination of knowing what to teach and how to teach it.

"SAMR" stands for....

• Substitution, Augmentation, Morphologist, Redefinition

• Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition

• Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Reaugmentation

• Substitution, Application, Modification, Redefinition

Substitution refers to...

• Making minor changes to the function of the resource or learning task by integrating technology. For example: integrating video resources with an online textbook.

• Replacing a traditional learning task/resource with a technology-based one. For example: replacing a paper textbook with an online textbook.

• Using technology to create a new learning task that would not be possible without that technology. For example: Asking students to give a video presentation, rather than write a paper, on a topic.

• Changing the learning task because of the possibilities provided by technology. For example: Giving students a list of media resources to analyze for information instead of asking them to read the online textbook.

Augmentation refers to...

• Replacing a traditional learning task/resource with a technology-based one. For example: replacing a paper textbook with an online textbook.

• Making minor changes to the function of the resource or learning task by integrating technology. For example: integrating video resources with an online textbook.
