Activity: Introduction to TPACK taxonomies for diversity of classroom instructional activities 1. Facilitator shares the TPACK introductory video 2. You will play two rounds of the TPACK Game. In the first round, participants consider how Technology (T), Pedagogy (P), and Content (C) work together by first randomly choosing slips from the C and P cups, and thinking deeply to find the technology that makes them all work together in a pedagogically sound way to teach the content. In the second round, participants draw slips from all three cups and discuss how the lesson would go. |
