Monica Tubbesing EDU533 Week 3

    • What story would you like to explore?  

    According to Robin (2006) there are three major types of stories are personal narratives, historical documentaries, and stories that inform or instruct. I would like to explore the type that informs or instructs. 

    • What type/kind of story will you tell? What is the purpose or impact do you hope to realize? 

    I have many impactful stories in mind. It would be a story of a real individual solving a problem. The level of transformation will be 7. Intellectual/creative - learning, problem solving, critical thinking, realizing new understanding (Ohler, 2023).  

    The purpose of the story will be to give hope to individuals with depression and awareness of cognitive behavioral therapy to change behaviors and thoughts. I am aware of many people who are unable to afford a counselor or have no support person to talk to. Having information on how to help themselves may be useful. 

     

    • What are the story elements? (Ohler) 

    Ohler (2023) states that there are three parts to the story core, they are the problem, the transformation, and the solution. 

    The problem will be a real individual dealing with depression due to many unforeseen events happening at once dealing to a depressive state. 

    The transformation will be a change in the individual’s thoughts and behaviors after learning the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) model. 

    The solution will be the individual’s change of mind, but the problems may remain, or more problems will occur. 

    • What approach will you take to mapping or developing your story?  (Ohler)  

    I would like to have the simplest approach, which is Aristotle’s map.  

    • How might you use this story in an educational environment? 

    I would like to use this story in a self-education environment for adults who are suffering from depression and have an interest in looking into psychotherapy as a possible way to cure or alleviate their depression. It may be effective for those who don’t want to use medications, and those that want to combine psychotherapy with medication. 

    • Which content and technology standards (ISTE) could be addressed? 

    1.1.d Technology Fundamentals  

    Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways. 

    1.2.b Online Interactions 

    Students demonstrate empathetic, inclusive interactions online and use technology to responsibly contribute to their communities. 

    1.3.d Explore Real-World Issues 

    Students build knowledge by exploring real-world issues and gain experience in applying their learning in authentic settings. 

    1.7.b Multiple Viewpoints 

    Students use collaborative technologies to work with others, including peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints. 

    • What tools are you considering to capture, edit, and communicate your story? 

    I am considering starting with the two-column story table, and if time and skills permit, then put it into the story book software, but I am not sure if that will work. 

    • How might you assess digital stories? 

    I am new to digital stories assessments. I think they are a great idea. I am thankful for having access to the center for the digital story evaluation rubric (2013) provided this week. It looks like we can take the parts of it that apply to our type of story to have some standard. 

    • Which of the readings/resources have been most useful to you in this process?  Describe how or in what ways the reading(s)/resource(s) have supported your work. 

    All the readings and resources have been very useful. I really like the Ohle’s article because it is well put together, with simple words, and easy flow for someone who is new to digital story telling.

    Monica, (great name) :)
    I love how you are going to help tackle such a major issue in American, especially in adults and college students. As a widow, and an empty-nester, I know the struggles of depression as an adult. I am looking forward to seeing how this will evolve into a digital story and hopefully I will be able to gather some resources for myself and for those around me that might be struggling, as well, including my students.

      Agree, Monica it is a great name.
      Regarding depression, I can say it is one of the most consultation topics I have. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, and I realized that depression is most of the time the issue. Hopefully the project comes out helpful and edifying. I believe many individuals are afraid to talk about it.

Monica Tubbesing Blog TPACK

Monica Tubbesing's TPACK discussion. The Technology, Pedagogical, and Cont ent Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework first introduced by Punia Mishra and Mathew J. Ko ehler in 2006. There are three domains that are interconnected and should be balanced to integrate technology into the classroom. The domains are a) Content Knowledge (CK), b) Pedagogical Knowledge PK), and c) Technological Knowledge. This framework is visually learned by the intersection of three circles , each circle representing a domain (Kurt, 2018) .   The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) developed seven competencies or standards for students . Many countries have embraced these competences. These standards prepare students to navigate through technology to shift fr om a teacher learning environment into a student driven environment.     The ISTE seven competencies for students are a) Empowered Learner, b) Digital Citizenship , c) Knowledge Constructor, d) Innovative Designer...
