My Learning Episode Overview

Episode 4 provides an opportunity for me to examine
my own knowledge about how to use technology in teaching
through the TPACK framework
My Intended Learning Outcomes
In this Episode, I must be able to use my technology pedagogical content knowledge in
choosing appropriate teacher resources to use for a particular unit of study.
My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:

 quality of my observations and documentation.

 completeness and depth of analysis.
 depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
 time of submission of portfolio

My Learning Essentials
The TPACK Framework
The TPACK is a framework that shows the types of knowledge involved in the
teacher’s capacity to integrate technology in the teaching-learning process. This was
proposed by Mishra and Koehler in 2007. These three types or bodies of knowledge can be
described separately but they work together, each time you (as the future teacher) use
technology for instruction. Reflect on yourself as you read about the three:
1. Technological Knowledge. This refers not only on whether you are computer literature
but also on knowing what technology is best to use and how they should be utilized in
teaching. Technology here can be as simple as the chalk and the blackboard or as
complicated as augmented reality. As technology is ever-changing, your technological
knowledge is also something that must be ever-developing.
2. Pedagogical Knowledge. This refers to the principles and strategies of teaching. It
includes your knowledge of the learners, and in formulating objectives, designing
activities and assessing your learners.
3. Content Knowledge. This refers to how well you know the subject area or topic that
you will teach. It includes how wide and how deep you know about what you will teach.
You can see from the diagram that two circles overlap with each other, while all
three of them overlap as well. Each two-circle overlap indicates the interaction of
technological and content knowledge (TCK), content and pedagogical knowledge
(CPK), and pedagogical and technological knowledge.
The middle most part of the diagram shows the interaction or interfacing of the
three, which is the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). This is what

 is very important for you to be able to use technology effectively in teaching. You need
to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses in the three and reflect how you can
grow in each one and use them together as best as you can.
Have this framework in mind as you analyze and reflect in this episode about
your own knowledge in using technology in teaching.

My Map

To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps.

Step 1. Decide on a specific content area and the level of learners technology.

Step 2. Find out the learning resources relevant to topic that are available.

Step 3. Develop a pile of teaching aids (flashcards, pictures, cut-outs transparencies).

Step 4. Organize them in a box.

My Tools
Subject Area / Topic: T.L.E
Grade / Year Level: Grade 9
Big Ideas about the topic: To know the good and bad effects of
beverages

Objectives:

Discuss characteristics of the different beverages and its

effect to consumer if I will be teaching it in the mountains
like ITARAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL where there are
enough materials I will use the traditional method where I
will use the modules or books, pictures and more on
examples.

It is in the city of course there’s a lot of available materials

around that will be use full in utilization of the discussion.

In this subject matter if the project is available I will use it

and show some video clips that will be very useful showing
the effects of beverages to consumers.

An Observation / Survey Guide

1. Are there learning resources useful for your topic in the resource center you
visited?
2. Are the available materials appropriate for your target grade/year level?
3. List down those that can be useful for your topic.
4. What other materials can you make? (like flash cards, posters, cut-outs,
transparencies, etc.)?

OBSERVATION NOTES

Name of the School ITARAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Visited
Location of the School
Date of Visit
Yes there are Learning Resource useful for my topic in the Resource
Center I’ve visited like books, magazines and some print materials. Yes
the Learning Resource Materials that are available is appropriate in my
target grade. I can make cut out letters and download pictures in the
internet in make beautiful and creative flashcards.

 My Analysis

1. What skills did you have which helped you prepare the materials? What
skills did you lack that made it difficult for you?
(Technological Knowledge)

Skills in reading like skimming and

scanning that really help me a lot in
preparing my materials in order to be ready
when I face my students.

2. Discuss some strategies on how you will use

the materials you included here in this episode.
(Pedagogical Knowledge)

I will based on the prior knowledge of my students in order to know if

they really have an idea on the topic and I will improved it.

3. How well do you know the topic you have chosen? (Content Knowledge)
Discuss the big ideas of this topic that you would want to focus on.

I really know the topic because I’ve already ready it, read it,
researched about it and really focus on it.

LEARNING EPISODE 4 – Tools of the Trade (Teaching Aids Bank)

My Reflections/Insights

1. Reflect how your technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical knowledge (PK) and
content knowledge (CK) worked together in fulfilling the tasks in this Episode.

In the TK that I have observed, the teachers did not

integrate or use technology like projector computer and other
materials in their lessons. They still use the traditional way like
paper, pen, chalkboard and chalk because of lack of materials
but the materials is been integrated in the lesson, but the
learning is very slow because the students feel bored because
technology is not integrated in their lesson, like me during my
studies I easily got boked especially when my teachers says
imagine this and that where in pack they can provide a good
examples of it. If I will be a teacher sometime I will use the
technology to motivate students to listen and focus.

2. What are some of the things you can do to enhance and enrich your
technological, pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) to be able to facilitate an active,
interesting, learning and fun-filled learning environment in the future?

As I observed and understand about this TPACK it refers to the knowledge

and understanding of the interplay between CK, PK, and TK when using
technology for teaching and learning. It includes on understanding of the
complexity of the relationship between students, teachers, environment, content,
practice and technologies.
To facilitate it actively, interesting, learning and fulfilled learning
environment I must do first my lesson plan and read books blogs and articles my
topic so that I can deliver it very well. I really need to enhance my ideas and skills
in the proper use of technology as being updated to current events and activities
in the modern world that is related to my lesson so I can integrated to my lesson
so I can integrate it and use it as an examples. I also need to read and don’t stop
learning that I can use in my teaching. I need to remember that in order to
succeed I need to try and push harder to achieve my goals in.
