  TPACK Model The TPACK model, also known as Technological Pedagogical Content knowledge, was developed by educational researchers Punya Mishra and Matthew Koehler. It stands for the integration of three key components: Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), and Content Knowledge (CK).   v   Technological Knowledge (TK): refers to understanding how to use technology effectively and appropriately in teaching and learning. It involves knowing about different tools, software, and platforms that can enhance educational experiences. v   Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): is the understanding of effective teaching strategies, instructional methods, and approaches. It involves knowing how to engage students, facilitate learning, and create meaningful educational experiences. v   Content Knowledge (CK): is the subject matter expertise that teachers possess. It includes a deep understanding of the content they are teaching, and the ability to convey that know...

  SAMAR Model SAMAR model is one of the ICT integration tools created by Dr.Ruben Puentedura mainly to help teacher create a personalized teaching and students to understand the complex ideas and concepts. Thus, SAMAR model is a planning tool that helps in designing a better learning tool that is suitable and interactive for all the learners. This tool helps teacher go beyond replacing traditional methods with technology. It encourages tutor to augment, modify, and even redefine the learning experiences. Thus, SAMAR stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Re-definition. 1.        Substitution: This the most basic level of technology integration, where technology is used as direct substitute for traditional tools or methods without any functional change. For example, using a word processor instead of pen and paper to write nursery rhymes or using ppt instead of textbook without any changes front sizes. 2.     ...

Today we were oriented in using PhET simulations which actually stands for Physical Education Technology. It is an interactive educational tool which is widely used by the teachers and learners for teaching and learning the math, physics, chemistry and other subjects. The tool had at proved to be useful as well as interactive, that is, this PhET simulation can accommodate the needs and the diverse learning style of the students as they can learn at their own pace and in the way they want to learn.  it enables the students to visualize and interact with the abstract concepts. makes learning more engaging where learners can explore and experiment safely and efficiently within the virtual environment.  available in online, making it accessible to all learners all around the world regardless of financial status and resources.  There are certain advantages  for using this PhET simulation for teaching and learning: 1.It provides a visual representation of complex ideas and...
