like the idea of making TPACK easier to understand. || My one question is: is there any audio to a company the power point presentation? If so, it didn't play when I played it. Without the audio, it was a lot of work on my part to read 33 slides. || Hi, Shannon. Yes, the Elluminate Presentation link will have everything you need. Sorry for the confusion! || Teubl || Your wikispace was very helpful and easy to navigate through. TPACK is such an important part to all teaching and your group broke in down so that it is easier for all to understand. This will really benefit all educators who would like to have a better understanding of TPACK! ||  ||   || Misiak

 * Shannon Rote || This is an interesting project. I
 * Jessica Boylan || Good job breaking down TPACK to future educators. I know in my undergrad classes, I never learned this. In fact, I didn't know anything about TPACK until I began my Masters in Instructional Technology. I have been teaching for six years and there has already been a huge shift in the use of technology within the classroom (at least at my tiny school). When I started, it wasn't really a necessary part of designing lessons. However, today - it is completely VITAL to follow the TPACK model to ensure our students are developing 21st century skills. I really like the discussion board you created. It allowed you to follow the progress of your target audience so you could check understanding and address any confusion along the way. I think by also having your target audience look at BOTH sides of TPACK, (What is one good thing VS What is one bad thing) they will have a better understanding of this in the future and will be more likely to be SUCCESSFUL users of the TPACK model, unlike some of the examples of teachers they described. ||  ||   ||
 * Dee Demyan || TPACK can be a tough concept especially for educators with very little experience with technology. I did a presentation on TPACK for a small group of teachers last year, and I wish that I had this PowerPoint/Wiki to have used! ||  ||   ||
 * Joy McGlone || I think you guys did a good job of breaking down the concept of TPACK. I remember feeling quite overwhelmed during summer session when I first heard of the term TPACK. I think it is great that students at the undergrad level are beginning to learn and understand TPACK now. I like how interactive your wiki was and it seemed like the students were engaged. ||  ||   ||
 * Saker Alexander || Excellent job explaining a legitimately difficult concept. Like others, I've always had difficulty wrapping my minds around concepts like TPACK and ADDIE that often get confused in my head, but the breakdown you have provided was very helpful. I'm impressed also that you were able to implement evaluative responses so quickly into the site! ||  ||   ||
 * Glenn Curtis || TPACK was an interesting choice of project topic and one no doubt many would have shied away from. I like the approach that you took to it: applying what was learned this semester (ADDIE) to something learned in a previous semester (TPACK). I also appreciate how you were able to make a new and difficult topic to most people easy to follow and understand; explaining why this model is important to incorporating technology into education was the real key to having your audience comprehend this concept. || How were the participating students chosen? ||  ||
 * Emily
 * Andrea Franklin || You guys did great on this project! TPACK can be confusing and I don't think there is really a time where it has been broken down quite like this. I really like how it was organized and put together, this makes it clear for the learner, where most of the other resources out there seem to be so abstract it is hard to follow. This was very basic and quick, but provided all the necessary information. I like it and hope that it is used in the real world with more students. ||  ||   ||
 * Victor Kaplack || I agree with the comments above. Your goals were clearly established and implemented in outstanding fashion. I wish our leadership at my district had more insight into TPACK before they put out such quick goals when implementing technology. With such a high emphasis put on using technology in our rooms (we now have wireless buildings), many have rushed technology and are using it to just to say they use it. TPACK is not even thought of. I have been looking at different ideas for what to teach for professional development days, (a 3 hour course) and after going through your final presentation, I believe that what you presented would be a worth while session to offer. || How do you feel about your work being used in other districts to enhance staff knowledge of TPACK? ||  ||

Brenna Raddish || Thanks for taking on this topic! This is such an essential concept for teachers to grasp and I applaud your efforts in making it easy to understand and apply. I found the inclusion of the video very helpful for having a visual explanation; sometimes that's easier than just reading text from a book. It definitely seemed like your audience learned a lot from your project and were engaged throughout the implementation. Nice Work!

This is such an important topic that can be hard to grasp. The group did a wonderful job breaking it down and explaning TPACK! I wish I had this to refer to and engage in when I was first learning about TPACK. You guys have created a great resource for future educators and you guys did an awesome job! :-) || ||  ||
