Technological Pedagogical (TP)
Instead of the traditional classroom setting I chose to have my students do a simple lesson online. I will have my computer programming students take a pretest using edline on “variables”. The pretest will be short, four or five questions. Next, there will be a short video/tutorial link for the students to watch. Then the post test will be available for them when they are ready to take it. The post test will be four to five questions that I used on the pretest and answered in the movie they were assigned to watch.
Technological Content (TC)
The technological content will include using the computer, internet, edline, online tests and video/tutorial links. All of this experience is needed to be met for Michigan ’s standards for online learning credit. Giving the students the experience in all different subject areas and using a variety of tools will give the student a better understanding and prepare them for college.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PC)
As of now the students only have one choice to take this class as a traditional class. By developing this class the student will have more choices and be developing skills at the same time. This will allow them to experience online learning using the course management system, navigating around to find information, organization skills and communication skills. The instant feedback on their quizzes is reinforcement for them. By this they can see their growth and if they need to reinforce what they learned the video/tutorial and tests are there for them to go back and review. Giving the students the freedom to do their work on their own time and not sitting in a classroom seems to be what they are looking for. This class also includes Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a curriculum designed approach to focus on all types of learners, by taking down barriers that may limit students.
