Findings

  • Took on three distinct forms of sharing resources for classroom use...
    • ​Teacher-teacher shared
    • Student-generated projects   
    • Teacher-generated/found
  • Members of the social group had a common contextualization of the materials
    • Made meaning together
    • Humor as a method of meaning-making
  • TPCK at play
    • Technology- needed to make memes, share them
    • Pedagogy- needed to use in class, curriculum
    • Content- Have to get the history to get the joke
