Completeness and depth of analysis,
Depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
Completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and
Time of submission of portfolio.

My Learning Essential

The TPACK Framework

The TPACK is a framework that shows the types of knowledge involved in the
teachers capacity to integrate technology in the teaching-learning process. This was
proposed by Mishra and Koehler in 2007. These three types or bodies of knowledge
can be described separately but they work together, each time you (as the future
teacher) use technology for instruction. Reflect on yourself as you read about the three:
1. Technological knowledge: this refers not only on whether you are computer
literate but also on knowing what technology is best to use and how they should
be utilized in teaching. Technology here can be as simple as the chalk and the
blackboard or as complicated as augmented reality. As technology is ever-
changing, your technological knowledge is also something that must be ever-
developing.
2. Pedagogical knowledge: this refers to the principles and strategies of teaching.
It includes your knowledge of the learners, and in formulating objectives,
designing activities and assessing your learners.
3. Content knowledge: this refers to how well you know the subject area or topic
that you will teach. It includes how wide and how deep you know about what you
will teach.
You can see from the diagram that two circles overlap with each other, while all
three of them overlap as well. Each two circle overlap indicates the interaction of
technological and content knowledge (TCK), content and pedagogical knowledge
(CPK), and pedagogical and technological knowledge.
The middle most part of the diagram shows the interaction or interfacing of the
three, which is the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). This is
what is very important for you to be able to use technology effectively in teaching.
You need to be aware of your strengths and weakness in the three and reflect how
you can grow in each one and use them together as best as you can.
However this framework in mind as you analyze and reflect in this episode about
your own knowledge in using technology in teaching.

To realize my Intended Learning Outcome, I will work my way through these
steps:

Step 1. Decide on a specific content area and

the level of learners technology.

Step 2. Find out the learning resources relevant

to topic that are available.

Step 3. Develop a pile of teaching aids

(flashcards, pictures, cutouts transparencies).

Step 4. Organize them in a box.

erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the
volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger.

What are the different types of volcanoes?

Volcanoes are grouped into four types: cinder cones, composite
volcanoes, shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes.
Cinder ConesCinder cones are circular or oval cones made up
of small fragments of lava from a single vent that have been
blown into the air, cooled and fallen around the vent.

Composite VolcanoesComposite volcanoes are steep-sided

volcanoes composed of many layers of volcanic rocks, usually
made from high-viscosity lava, ash and rock debris. Mt. Rainier
and Mount St. Helens are examples of this type of volcano.

Shield VolcanoesShield volcanoes are volcanoes shaped like a

bowl or shield in the middle with long gentle slopes made by
basaltic lava flows. Basalt lava flows from these volcanoes are
called flood basalts. The volcanoes that formed the basalt of the
Columbia Plateau were shield volcanoes.

4. What other materials can you make? (like flash cards,

posters, cutouts, transparencies, etc.)?
The other materials that I can make are: Tarpaper, chart,
cut-out words, printed pictures, model of volcanoes,
printed quiz and activity sheets.

OBSERVATION NOTES
 My Analysis

What skills did you have which helped you prepare the materials? What skills did
you lack made it difficult for you? (Technological Knowledge)
The skills that probably helped me to prepare the materials I needed for my topic
are: being computer literate and my sense of art. During my high school days, every
graduation I always received the Best in Computer Award and the Best in Arts Award.
I must say that my ability to manipulate computer especially with Microsoft power point
make it easy for me to prepare my visual aids. Also, my sense of art or becoming artistic
helped me to make my visual aids (power point and charts) more attractive and eye-
catching. When it comes to difficulty, I didnt encounter any. For when it comes to visual
aids and making learning materials it is my specialty and making visual aid is a
passion and provides enjoyment for me.

Discuss some strategies on how you will use the materials you included here in
this episode. (Pedagogical Knowledge)
First material that I had included in this episode is my power point presentation
and the tarpaper or chart I had made, the strategies of teaching that I am going to
include in these are the deductive approach for discussion, pass the ball for my
generalization, and informal hand raising for my questioning. I am going to use the art of
questioning also and differentiated instruction for my activity.

How well do you know the topic you have chosen? (Content Knowledge). Discuss
the big ideas of this topic that you would want to focus on.
Actually, this topic is the one given to me by Sir Dave in my final demonstration
for this semester so I must say that I am very familiar and has mastery on the topic that
I had chosen. The first big idea of this topic that I gave focus on is the definition and
origin of volcano. What is volcano? Where did the name volcano came from? What are
the main description of volcano? And what are the main features of volcano? The
second big idea of this topic that I give focus on is the formation process of volcano.
How it ends up as volcano and the natural process occurring on earths plate when
there is a formation of volcano occurring. The third big idea I gave focus on is the
different types of volcano which are the composite, shield, cinder and lava dome
volcano. I am going to discuss their differences from one another in terms of their
formations, structure, volcanic activities and size. Also, I will give some importance of
volcano in the heat releasing process occurring on the surface of the earth and the
relevance of volcano in mans life and in maintaining the natural process in earths
cycle.
 My Reflections/Insights

1. Reflect how your technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical knowledge (PK)

and content knowledge (CK) worked together in fulfilling the tasks in this episode.
These TPACK Framework consisting of the technological knowledge (TK),
pedagogical knowledge (PK) and content knowledge (CK) worked together in
fulfilling the tasks required in this episode by making sure that I am
knowledgeable and capable enough with the technologies that can help me
deliver my topic well making it more attractive to my students and listeners, with
the help also of my pedagogical knowledge, the teaching strategy and approach I
will use to deliver and present my topic efficiently to the class and of course,
provided with the informative content and my mastery of the lesson making this
topic successful and attainment of learning to be achieve.
The Technological Knowledge in the TPACK Framework makes my
Pedagogical and Content Knowledge to be applied in real life teaching such as
using computer for my lesson, making slideshow presentations and video clips.
My Pedagogical Knowledge makes my technological and content knowledge be
more effective by making sure that they are carried out and executed properly in
my teaching. And my Content Knowledge makes sure that I have mastery with
the concept of my lesson, to choose the right technology and strategies of
learning that will best explain and elaborate the contents of my lesson. Thus,
each of them complement each other and they work together to make sure that
learning will occur for my students and learners.
2. What are some of the things you can do to enhance and enrich your
technological, pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) to be able to facilitate an
active, interesting, learning and fun-filled learning environment in the future?
Maybe some of the things I can do to enhance and enrich my technological,
pedagogical content knowledge to be able to facilitate an active, interesting,
learning and fun-filled learning environment in the future is by reading a lot of
informative books, surfing internet with useful and educational articles and
websites, undergo seminars and be open to any suggestions that I think will help
me to boost my knowledge in these fields.
