Technology Integration in ELT: TPACK & SAMR Model Mind Maps

-

 

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), is a model that helps teachers consider how their knowledge domains intersect in order to effectively teach and engage students with technology.




The SAMR Model is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that categorizes four different degrees of classroom technology integration. The letters "SAMR" stand for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition.

Hello there! Today, I would like to talk about Augmented Reality! Let's try to understand what AR really is and then I will introduce some AR apps that we can use in our classrooms. Augmented Reality (AR) is a digital medium that allows you to overlay virtual content into the physical world in a way that makes it seem like the content is physically there. AR basically allows us to merge the digital and physical worlds. Your camera detects a target image and can figure out how close or far, and at what angle the target image is from the camera using sensors, then projects digital information onto that target image, finally, AR happens! I think we are actually familiar with the usage of AR through some social media apps like Snapchat or Instagram. So, these apps started adding augmented reality to their features with lenses and filters a few years ago.        AR has been used in different areas for years like business, design, medical training, tourism, and m...

Hi everyone!  The topic that I want to talk about today is very exciting because it will be about Virtual Reality (VR)! First, let's try to get some idea about VR, and then I will try to introduce a VR app that can be used in education as a helpful tool. So basically, Virtual reality is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Virtual Reality (VR) uses computer-based technology to create a simulated environment. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. VR uses a headset with a built-in screen that displays a virtual environment for you to explore. These headsets use a technology called head tracking which allows you to look around the environment by simply moving your head. Virtual Reality widely used in video games, engineering, entertainment, education, design, films, media, medicine, and more. Now I want to talk about some apps! So,   there are different ...

Hey there! I hope you are feeling great! Today, I want to talk about a very nice online tool which is Flipgird . Fipgrid is essentially a social learning platform that allows you to interact with your peers or your students through videos. It allows the students to create videos in response to your questions. Flipgrid is free for educators it's a great way for us to get our students engaged in class discussion by sending short videos. I think it can get boring for teachers who work online to reading all these writings from their students over and over again. So, this is just a different and fun way to get the students to respond, they're also going to be learning some of the rules of social discussion which is really important as well. You can get started with Flipgrid by creating an educator account, after you've done that you can log in and begin by creating a topic. Topic is a place where your students are going to answer some questions for you, they're going to a...
