TPACK stands for Technological
Pedagogical Content Knowledge. It is a framework that uses three forms of
knowledge together to promote a creative way of learning. It is a foundation
for a teacher that gives them the data to incorporate technology into their
classrooms. The three main parts of this framework are Content Knowledge (CK),
Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) and Technology Knowledge (TK). The content involves what to teach and the
subject matter. It also involves the teacher’s knowledge about the subject
matter to be learned or taught. Pre-school children educational lesson plans
will be different from middle school children’s lesson plan activities. The
pedagogy involves how you teach, your methods and developmentally appropriate
activities for your students. It also involves the teacher’s understanding of
how students learn pre-student assessments, classroom management skills, and
lesson planning. The technology involves what you use to make the learning
activity meaningful and how to enhance the learning experience. The technology
is also tools or resources that can bring out the lesson. Teacher should
constantly update their knowledge about technology and how to use it
productively in everyday life. Their knowledge of technology will be great to
use in their classrooms because children love fun and interesting lesson plans
that involve technology tools such as: computers and smart boards. All three
components are used together to create a wonderful lesson plan. Teachers can
use TPACK to help them choose the correct technology that supports their
curriculum and teaching style that connects with their pedagogy and content material.
