Edutech bootcamp: Studying learning, or learning to study



As the teacher trainees start the Edutech Bootcamp tomorrow, they will participate a course that is both thoroughly planned and quite out of the box.

I'm happy and proud of having a major share of designing and carrying out this course on educational technology. It's not only my work but it also doubles as my advanced practice teaching, it triples as a topic for my seminar work, and furthermore, I'll squeeze my subject didactics coursework out of this.

Currently, I'm doing a seminar work at the Uni of Helsinki about applying a model called "pedagogical infrastructure framework" on our bootcamp. This is what my initial research plan looks like now.

The pedagogical infrastructure framework is elaborated in Minna Lakkala’s thesis. Here in Google Docs you can check out how I've thought we'll apply technological, social, epistemological, and cognitive approaches to the course.
