TPACK

TPACK combines technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge together to be an effective way to incorporate technology in classroom learning. A teacher who teaches the material from the state core uses content knowledge. Knowing how to use technology, such as a thermometer, is called technological knowledge. Understanding the best way to teach people is known as pedagogical knowledge. The best kinds of teaching include all of these knowledges together, also known as TPACK. Using technology in the classroom to teach the content can enhance the student's learning. As a teacher, it may be hard to include TPACK in every lesson, but taking the time to explore techonolgy tools gives teachers more options when they plan their lessons. The students will benefit from the teacher's use of TPACK.
