Effects of technology on me
“There is no single technological solution
that applies for every teacher, every course,
or every view of teaching.”

more ‘acceptance’ on assessment

+ Very user friendly system
+ Individual feedback for students
+ By grading another student, students get more
insight in their own answers.

TPACK – the game
 Make a list of possible technologies and discuss a
realistic example of an activity you could use in your
teaching.
 Technology:…………..?
 Pedagogy: discussion
 Content: media literacy (“mediawijsheid”)
My advice?
Use TPACK
 to find out about which elements of the model you
already know a lot, and on which elements you can
still improve;
 to set personal learning objectives and to make
conscious decisions on the integration of
technology in your teaching.
