TPACK, SAMR, and 4C's Comic Strip Assignment

Slide: 1
I keep hearing TPACK, SAMR, and the 4 C’s… but students don’t even know what those mean.
True—but they shape how we teach every day.
Slide: 2
1.) TPACK is how we balance what we teach, how we teach it, and the technology we use.
2.) So content, teaching methods, and tech all working together?
3.) Exactly—when they connect, learning is stronger.
Slide: 3
Right. If it doesn’t help learning, it doesn’t belong.
So technology isn’t just for fun—it has to actually support the lesson.
Slide: 4
SAMR shows how we use technology—from basic to advanced.
It starts with simple substitution and can go all the way to redefining learning with new possibilities.
Slide: 5
And the 4 C’s are the skills students need: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
That’s what prepares them for real life—not just tests.
Slide: 6
I see myself using these ideas through group projects and technology—like students creating and sharing their own work.
That way they’re learning content and building real-world skills.
Slide: 7
…but they’ll experience better teaching because of them!
I won’t use tech just to use it—but when it improves learning, I’m all in.
Exactly. Students may never hear these terms…
