Week Three

TPACK stands for Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge. If I have TPACK as a teacher, I can combine my knowledge in all three of these areas to create better teaching opportunities by using technology to teach specific content in a pedagogically-sound manner. Teaching with TPACK makes it easier for students to understand and apply the knowledge being taught. The concept of TPACK helps me to understand much better how the technological skills I am learning in this class can be applied in the classroom most effectively. It kind of ties the things I learn in this class with the things I learn in my other education classes.

I'm still behind on the assignments, but I'm working to get caught up. This stuff is hard for me and takes a lot of time, but I'm going to keep pressing forward. Hopefully I'll be there soon!
