Wicked Problem Project: Part B - Application of TPACK


My wicked project is an effort to provide a cross-platform mobile training and remediation training solution for education programs presented by Sloan*Longway educators. The technology needs to be free, support HTML5, and be quick.

To allow for quick access, I will create a poster of QR codes that will on the classroom wall.  Educators will use their cell phone equipped with a QR reader app to access mobile websites containing important content a information and a brief self-grading quiz created with Google Forms that provide immediate  feedback so educators can assess their content knowledge over the related GLCEs.

In addition to the content, the initial setup of many programs is intimidating.  I will post the lesson plans, and  upload images and videos to demonstrate the setups safe usage of items like the liquid nitrogen dewer. The website will also contain an embedded self grading quiz using Google forms that provides immediate feedback to the educator.

Sloan*Longway educators experience three issues when teaching the core educational programs.  These issues are remembering important content and pedagogical details, classroom setup, and the proper use of equipment.  Unfortunately, binders tend to get lost or ruined quickly, and computers with internet access are not available in the classrooms.  With this mobile solution,  Educators will have immediate access to important content and pedagogical information

    Your project definitely appears to stress the areas of technology, content, and pedagogy.

    It sounds like you have covered all of the necessary information in your wicked problem planning. I can see that the old format of text is not always possible to maintain in binders. Does Sloan Longway provide the educators with their own "company" phones? I was also wondering if you think there will be any issues with using different mobile devices and the compatibility with what material they access?
