- About Me
- An educator and a learner always. I currently work for the San Diego Unified Educational Technology Department. My main job is working with middle school science teachers who are part of the ESETT grant (Enhancing Science Education Through Technology) and supporting district-wide Moodle use. In my spare time I'm a graduate student in the Edtec masters program at SDSU and a mom and wife to Orion and Jason, respectively.

Heidi Beezley replied to Stacey Kelly's discussion 'iPod Touch in the Classroom'
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but an Escondido, CA school district has some great success using iPods (not touches, but nanos) for helping students improve their reading and oral language. When I say great success, I mean the data is…
Heidi Beezley replied to Joanna's discussion 'cool example of using a ning in a school project'
I love this! I saw this at CUE when Vicki Davis, AKA CoolCat Teacher presented. I agree, this is an incredible example of a Ning for education. I know it has inspired me. Thank you for sharing it. Plus, I love Don Tapscott's videos
Heidi Beezley replied to Matt Townsley's discussion 'TPACK - a framework for technology integration'

First order barriers…
Heidi Beezley replied to Matt Townsley's discussion 'TPACK - a framework for technology integration'
I've found the TPACK model to be very useful. For me, when I read several articles about it by Mishra and Koehler, I wondered why no one had ever proposed it before. The idea, as I understand it, isn't that teaching and learning isn't…
Heidi Beezley replied to Matt Townsley's discussion 'TPACK - a framework for technology integration'
Lol! Thank you both for the leads! I think finding ways of developing PD that coheres with the TPACK framework is tough since usually technology is its own entity separate from the content areas. So content area PD tends to use little technology and…
Heidi Beezley replied to Zach Vander Veen's discussion 'From a Teacher's Perspective: Blackboard vs Moodle?'
I know this isn't the response you were asking for, but, like you, I've been a solid Moodle fan from the teacher perspective. I've had a chance to use both from the student perspective at SDSU.
In favor of Blackboard - integrated…
Heidi Beezley replied to Matt Townsley's discussion 'TPACK - a framework for technology integration'
I've heard of the "Learning by Design" model, but I'm not sure I understand enough about how to do this (especially with wide ranges of technological, pedagogical, and content proficiencies). I'd love to know more about it.
Heidi Beezley replied to Matt Townsley's discussion 'TPACK - a framework for technology integration'
I've been very interested in your framework as well. In the process of trying to develop professional development that helps teachers develop TPCK. It's tough when you have teachers at so many different levels to help teachers get to the…
