Chapter 2 reading Reflections

Constructivism and Objectivism are two different ways of looking at education. One has a strict and directed view to instruction and want standardized assessment. The other believe students need to build their own knowledge and show that knowledge through varied assessment.

I also learned how the two come together in the future of integration and what the strength and weaknesses of both are in the comparison table 2.2 I found this information to be very helpful because I want to have an eclectic approach, using the best from both worlds when they are most appropriate.

The Technology integration planning model is a great tool for assessing what teachers need to know about technology to use it, if it will be a good solution to the problem at hand, how to make objectives and assess those objectives, activities that integrate technology to enhance learning, how to support these activities, and importantly how to evaluate student achievement and change the program to improve. I think it will be so useful to have this tool at my disposal to assess, learn, and help students.

I will use the combined methods of constructivism and objectivism to teach with the best methods from both

The TIP model will be a great tool I use in my class room for effective uses of technology.

I need a more detailed, or differentiated definition of TPACK. I read the paragraphs, and looked at the graphs and didn’t understand it very well.

Best-
