TPACK Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge True technology integration is understanding and negotiating the relationships between these three components of knowledge. knowledge of the existence, components and capabilities of various technologies as they are used in teaching and learning settings, and conversely, knowing how teaching might change as the result of using particular technologies. Examples: knowledge of tools for maintaining class records, attendance and grading knowledge of generic technology tools such as WebQuests, discussion boards and Web 2.0 tools Technological Pedagogical Knowledge knowledge about the manner in which Technology Knowledge (TK) and content knowledge (CK) are reciprocally related to each other Teachers need to know not just the subject matter they teach, but also the manner in which the subject matter can be changed by the application of technology. Example: Consider Geometer’s Sketchpad as a tool for teaching geometry. This allows students to play with shapes and form, making it easier to construct standard geometry proofs. Technological Content Knowlege knowing what teaching approaches fit the content and knowing how elements of the content can be arranged for better teaching the ways of representing and formulating the subject that make it comprehensible to others knowledge of strategies, prior conceptions, and misconceptions students are likely to have about a particular subject Pedagogical Content Knowledge Let's play the TPACK game http://mkoehler.educ.msu.edu/tpack-101/the-tpack-game/
