Chapter 8: “Placing the magic in the classroom TPCK in arts education” By: Nancy DePlatchett
I really liked how this chapter spelled out the 21st century skills that our students need. The book also made the statement that, “Every single skill listed above can be enhanced through arts education.” (p. 167) This book is great for educators that do not see the importance of technology in a classroom.
Stepping out of your comfort zone is hard at times, but when I read about the great ideas and the success stories regarding pedagogy it is a motivator for me as an educator. This chapter related to that because when there are success stories from students it means that the teacher made the learning meaningful to them and without meaning the students have a hard time learning.
This chapter also talks about the “wicked problems.” I feel that there is also going to be “wicked problems.” The arts is a perfect place for TPCK. The arts embrace individuality and TPCK can be apart of their individuality and performances.

ReplyDeleteGreat to hear. We are really hoping that people will be willing to bring more art into their curriculums to add more culture. It really helps to develop cultural aware students.
