A Reflect of 3.1.4, technology integration models (SAMR and TPACK)

A Reflect of technology integration models (SAMR and TPACK)

I have learned that technology integration has several steps and measures. And that each step works at a given level of teaching/learning.

I have been introduced to two models-SAMR and TPACK models. 

I have understood more of the SAMR model than the TPACK model. The SAMR model has four levels i.e Substitution, Augementation, Modification and Redifinition.

In my operations at school, I have discovered that I have been using Substitution almost only; in case I used technology integration. My focus is going to be on trying the rest of the three steps of the model.

Even though the TPACK model integrates pedagogy, Knowledge content and technology, where a teacher fails out-whether has limited knowledge content or technology deficiency or otherwise, his weakness can easily be observed by anybody inclusive his students, which can be quite embarrassing on his side.

Experiences of on-line Learning 2.8.4

My experience with on line learning has been interesting; I have learned the Constructivism approach to teaching. In this way I have discovered that because the various learning experiences I got from the University when training to become a teacher, I use a blend of methods while teaching to the extent that I do not stick to one method. The on-line learning has helped me to discover my self where I got lost within the profession. I almost used constructivism unknowingly.

I leaned how to make an Inforgraphic which I had never thought of making in my teaching career.Check the link  https://magic.piktochart.com/output/5019087-semayobe-and-the-socratic-way-

I have learned how to go off the boring lecture method of teaching when I conducted the constructivism class in a planned and organized way.

 Most interesting of all were the High Order Thinking questions.

Pitfalls 

Balancing up work time with study time has been so difficult to me.

In the these last days of the module, the Internet connection has been too loose and disturbing.

I had extended sleep hours in order to accomplish the assignments.

Feeling disgusted when my colleagues were ahead of me via reading and contributing to the discussion wall.
