TPACK

From the class discussion and my readings, I have gathered that TPACK is the way of thinking about how to integrate technology into teaching. The three types of knowledge--technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge--are at the core of the TPACK framework. This makes sense as TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. Through the TPACK framework, teachers come to understand how to use technology to support both the content they teach as well as the pedagogical strategies and methods they use to teach particular content areas and manage the class.

It is necessary for teachers to have this knowledge because without it, they will not be able to fully utilize technology in their teaching. Without understanding and integrating the content and pedagogy oriented tools offered by the TPACK framework. teachers will be limited in their resources and will not be able to offer the students the highest quality of education.
