Remember when . . .

I cannot seem to remember what life was like BGS (before graduate school).  I have only been at this for 3 weeks, yet I feel like I have been at it forever, did I have a life before this?  Not sure.

So, we have to prepare a literature review of sorts, a precursor to our graduate studies.  The problem is . . .  I have no idea what to study . . . HA HA.  So where do I go from here?  IDK maybe I should take a step back and just think.  Ok, long enough, I think I have too many fragmented thoughts to process or narrow all this down to just one idea.  So, i thought I should start with my questions...

•  What does research tell us about the best practices for preservice programs?  How should they be defined and designed? I need details.
• Why do my thoughts keep returning to TPACK?  Technology, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge?  and I keep hearing a voice in my head . . .  "technology should not be the driving force.  The goal cannot be to simply infuse technology for technologies sake." 

 What is the goal then?

I believe we must look at what are the needs of K-12 schools?  Which sends me to what are the needs of the students?  What are the goals of the K-12 schools.  UGH!  At times like this I feel like the moose in  "If you give a Moose a Muffin".
