TPACK

Here is the link to my TPACK paper.



Wow, at first that source article threw me for a loop! It was so hard to digest! I could only get through to about page 4 every time I tried to start it! I found, however that it was easier to read after having completed the assignments for this course. I really realized what they were driving at. I didn't like all the pedagogical jargon they threw in there and found about half really really informative, but all in all, it was a good article.

I really feel like in addition to all the new skills we learned and tools we explored, I learned the most about myself. The instructor was right, I went through a myriad of emotions during this course, elation, extreme frustration, doubt, and pride. In the end, I do feel better equipped to meet the future head on! (and in this case, the future is meeting me this fall with teaching my first online course!) Some things I will use, and some I will not, but I feel that I have benefitted from learning about them all. I was skeptical when I started this course, but no matter what grade I receive, I have taken something away and that, to me, is what is most important.
