Part B- Application of TPACK

What is the TP knowledge for the solution? (i.e., how does the technology you have chosen support the teaching strategies and methods you have chosen?) Since I am not a teacher I have not selected a specific pedagogy. With Challenge Based Learning (CBL) any pedagogy can be utilized with this framework. As far as the technology piece it is encouraged for student(s) and the teacher to use laptops (MAC’s of course though you can use PCs), iPads, iPods, podacsting, iTunes, the CBL site, PDA’s, and any other technology devices.

What is the TC knowledge for the solution? (i.e., how specifically does this technology make the content in your problem more intellectually accessible? Be sure to think about representation.) When using CBL framework it opens up the ability to research outside of the box. You can reach out to community experts as an example. It is truly limitless

What is the PC knowledge for the solution? (i.e., how specifically do your pedagogical choices make the content in your problem more intellectually accessible?) Be sure to think about how the student will experience the content given these instructional strategies. CBL offer limitless opportunities to access. Any type of technology can expand the PC part of your teaching.

I sent out a blast email on Facebook to my husband's MBA class as well as to family members posing this question, What does/is Financial Aid (mean) to you? Besides simply answering the question 'students' need to use technology (YouTube, Twitter, ect.) in order to deliver their answer.

  1. Although you stated this is limitless, could you give examples of how you plan to use your technology. I am very interested in which works best in the teaching strategies you have chosen.

  2. As you develop your plan for teaching people how to access financial aid I hope that you share some of the specific strategies you come up with within the CBL framework. I know a lot of high school seniors that need help securing scholarships and loans for college
