TPACK

Before learning of the TPACK model, I found myself using technology for the sake of using technology in the classroom. During my studies, we were told to create a 21st century learning environment. So naturally, in my head, I thought technology = 21st century learning. ​The TPACK model allowed me to understand how I could best integrate technology purposefully into my classroom. The TPACK model is focused on 3 key areas in the classroom:

• ​ Pedagogical Knowledge
  • the method of how you teach 
•  Content Knowledge
  • an understanding of the curriculum you teach 
•  Technological Knowledge
  • integrating technology successfully in a way that engages students

​By considering these 3 key areas in the classroom, I was able to move from simply substituting their learning to redefining their learning.
