Technology is a powerful tool that can take learning to a new level. Think about a learning experience you have facilitated or observed. Use the framework for TPACK and redesign the lesson using the SAMR model.
In your Assignment, include:
• The original learning experience (1–2 paragraphs)
• How you redesigned the learning experience to utilize the TPACK framework (1 page)
• The age group on which you are focusing and why this learning experience is appropriate, meaningful, and engaging (i.e., your rationale for the changes you are recommending and how technology will foster a more meaningful experience for the children) (1 page)
Assignment length: 3 pages
Cite appropriate references in APA format to substantiate your thinking.
Develop a 500-word reflection paper focusing on how the TPACK and SAMR concepts can assist all teachers, including those new to the field, in planning meaningful learning experiences and creating exciting, supportive environments. Include a summary of how teachers can determine which technology is developmentally appropriate for young children across the early childhood age spectrum and which digital tools enhance development and learning. If appropriate to the age level, include how technology can encourage children to manage their own learning in developmentally appropriate ways.
