TPACK (revisited)

As educators for the 21st century, new technologies are bringing new expectations. Once exemplar content knowledge was all that was expected of teachers. Then, pedagogy (how knowledge is delivered to students) became the focus. Now, techology is often seen as the main focus in education.  But to get the full benefit of the three areas of teacher expertise, it is where these points overlap, the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) that must become the driving force for a successful classroom.

This website has some great information on TPACK and ideas for classroom planning.  Of particular interest is the reflections of some pre-service teachers:

    Hi Lyn
    Wow, the TPACK wiki is awesome. I love the fact that it breaks TPACK down into real life classroom applications. I looked at the Science learning activities, and there are so many activities that I would never have thought of using with the technologies they suggest. This website not only is a great resource, but is 'wikiing' at it's best - a case of lots of expert heads coming together to share their knowledge. Thanks for sharing this page - what would we do without our librarian friend and her wealth of resources!?!
    Hope you are well. Take care,
    Kate x

    Hi Kate, be my guest to use anything from my blog... all due care, no responsibility, etc. It is all about collaboration, isn't it?
