TPACK

In class we learned about TPACK. This is the combination of three types of knowledge: technical, pedagogical, and content. Each of these different types of knowledge can be taught separately or connected in different ways. Technical knowlege is when you have a lot of information on a specific subject and it's content. When you know different strategies of teaching and ways to get information across, you have pedagogical knowledge. Technological knowledge is when you use technology to help or increase something like your knowledge or teaching. All of these types of knowledge can be used in teaching but the most effective ways of teaching are when you use all three types of knowledge. Teachers should always strive to use TPACK because they will be able to learn and and grow which will in turn provide them with a better understand of how to help their students. By using all three types of knowledge and teaching then the lessons of the teacher will reach out to more students and the students will learn more effectively.
