Hello everybody this is Brian’s week 8 blog for LIS 568. The main topic for this week is TPACK which stands for the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. Like I said in my post I had never heard of this word so it was kind of new to me. The first reading on the weekly readings list explained TPACK best. I particularly liked the graph showing the interplay of these three forms of knowledge and each of the four overlapping regions.
There were seven Harris and Hofer articles to read but I have to say they were hard to access it took me a while to scroll down the page, get the relevant pages, and enlarge it enough to be able to see them. As a result it made it harder to understand them and I found my concentration drifting because of this.
The Richardson article about wikis was very interesting. I hadn’t realized that Wikipedia is in fact a wiki I ‘ve used it for years not realizing that. .One of the things I liked in this chapter was when Richardson mentioned the University of Buffalo study that tested Wikipedia by sending inaccurate information and finding that within 24 hours all the misinformation was corrected. This emphasized how important Wikipedia is as an online encyclopedia. I cant think of anything else so I’ll see you next week
