Explore the TPACK framework and its three knowledge domains
Analyze technology integration using the SAMR model
Create standards-aligned lesson plans with effective technology integration
Lecture Topics
ISTE Standards for Educators & Students
Explore the comprehensive standards that define what educators should demonstrate and what students should achieve in technology-enhanced learning environments.
TPACK & SAMR Frameworks
Understand how to integrate technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge, and evaluate the depth of technology integration in your teaching.
Integrating Standards into Lesson Plans
Learn how to apply ISTE Standards, TPACK, and SAMR when designing effective, technology-enhanced lesson plans for your future classroom.
Hands-on Labs
Key Concepts
ISTE Standards
Comprehensive guidelines that define what educators should demonstrate and what students should achieve in technology-rich learning environments.
TPACK Framework
A model that describes the knowledge teachers need to effectively integrate technology, combining Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge.
SAMR Model
A framework for evaluating technology integration, ranging from Substitution and Augmentation to Modification and Redefinition of learning tasks.
Standards-Aligned Planning
The practice of designing lessons that intentionally address educational standards while using frameworks to guide effective technology integration.
Why This Module Matters
As a future educator, you need more than just technical skills—you need frameworks to guide your decision-making. The ISTE Standards provide clear goals for what you and your students should achieve. TPACK helps you think strategically about how to integrate technology with your teaching methods and content. SAMR challenges you to use technology in transformative, not just substitutive, ways.
Together, these frameworks ensure that technology enhances learning in meaningful ways, preparing your students for success in an increasingly digital world.
