This blog posting will answer the following questions: What is the TP knowledge for the solution?; What is the TC knowledge for the solution?; and What is the PC knowledge for the solution?
Technological Pedagogical knowledge, according to "Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A Framework for Teacher Knowledge", by Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler, can be defined as "...knowledge of the existence, components, and capabilities of various technologies as they are used in teaching and learning settings, and conversely, knowing how teaching might change as the result of using particular technologies". The technology that I have chosen, using a wiki, supports the teaching strategies and methods I have chosen. Students will be able to collaborate both on creating a group summary of the novel their literature circle has chosen to read. Also, students will be able to work together to come up with questions about their novel as part of the QAR strategy for Reading Apprenticeship that I am working to incorporate into the classroom.
Technological Content knowledge, according to Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler, is "...knowledge about the manner in which technology and content are reciprocally related". The classroom wiki will make the content in my problem more intellectually accessible. Specifically, students are creating their own summaries and questions using a wiki. They will be able to read what other literature circle members have written, as well as revising and editing.
Pedagogical Content knowledge, defined by Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler, is "...knowing what teaching approaches fit the content, and likewise, knowing how elements of the content can be arranged for better teaching". The pedagogical choices make the content in my problem more intellectually accessible. The students will experience the text of their novels at a higher level of comprehension through collaborating with peers to create summaries and using the Reading Apprenticeship and QAR strategies.
