Jonassen in the areas of mind tools and problem solving. The focus of the volume is on educational technology, especially with regard to how new technologies have facilitated and supported problem solving and critical thinking. Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of learning with technology and elaborates the implications for the design and implementation of learning environments and activities aimed at improving the conceptualization of problems, reasoning and higher-order thinking, and solving challenging problems

Since then TPACK was embraced by many scholars and practitioners. This chapter’s reflections are based on developments in theoretical views on TPACK since its inception. An extensive review of the literature on TPACK (Voogt, Fisser, Pareja Roblin, Tondeur & van Braak, 2013) showed that the widespread use of the TPACK framework also has lead to different interpretations of the framework and questioned some of the underpinnings of TPACK. These different interpretations concern in particular on the way technology is understood and the nature of the knowledge that is communicated in the framework. We first use insights from the philosophy of technology to reflect on the implications of adding technology as a knowledge domain. Because TPACK aims t...

Two major international forums have been implemented: one in the United States in 2010 and a second in Germany in 2012. A third is planned for South Africa in 2014. This paper reported on the activities of GoFPEP 2012, which was held in Velen, Germany, in collaboration with the Willibald Gebhardt Research Institute. Addressing the theme of "Revitalizing Health and Physical Education Through Community-Based Networking," 80 invited delegates from 50 countries focused their discussion on two major questions: (a) What innovative strategies can be employed to revitalize health and physical education pedagogy through community-based networking? (b) Can we build a global network focused on advancing health and physical education pedagogy? This study investigated what strategies might facilitate this activity. Open-ended co...

This special editorial shares the results of a leadership‐strand discussion at the past two National Technology Leadership Summits (NTLS) focused on good teaching and organizational change that incorporates TPACK‐based practices. It highlights focus‐group results from College of Education deans, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Innovation & Technology Committee, and other leaders attending NTLS regarding context‐specific products and processes needed to create change in teacher education at the local level.

As Gladhart, Carroll, and Ellsworth concluded, "Developing fearless faculty is a lofty goal, but once faculty become leaders, their students will be empowered to be leaders and advocates for change in schools." Barbara Moore is a Doctoral Candidate in Instructional Technology in the College of Education at the University of South Florida. She is currently immersed in preservice teacher education issues through the teaching and ongoing refinement of a preservice teacher technology course. Her interests include web-based instruction and the use of technology to bridge the Digital Divide.

Based on our experience of leadership, faculty development and our literature review, we argue that the creation of sound leadership structures aligned with the TPACK framework can promote sustainable faculty development. There are a growing number of cases that applied the TPACK framework in non-teacher-education programs. The TPACK framework can provide higher education faculty members with a comprehensive vision for technology integration in their face-to-face and online instruction. Learner-centered pedagogy has been emphasized for non-teacher-education faculty members’ professional development.
