TPACK

     Before entering this program, technology was often unknowingly implemented in my classroom as a separate entity that did not enhance or drive the learning of my students. It existed in my classroom as a direct replacement for implementations already in place in my classroom. Through this program I have learned about the true impact of TPACK; the seamless intersection of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. Such an intersection requires all three components to work with one another in a way that without one the learning would not be as enhanced and the teaching would not be nearly as effective. When I plan a lesson or any implementation in the classroom, I now first consider my context, and then determine what content meets the needs of my context, what pedagogy assists the understanding of the content within all of the needs present in my context, and what technology can drive/enhance the pedagogy and content within my particular context.

       My multimedia-enhanced phonics lessons are a direct product of the “Sweet Spot” intersection point encompassed by TPACK. The early literacy skills content relies on the the pedagogical delivery revolved around images, songs, and movements, which all rely upon the the technological resources that deliver the content and provide the songs, movements, and images. There is no one component of the direct phonics lessons that could be missing in order for it to reach its’ full efficacy, and deliver students the foundational skills necessary to become successful and transferable readers.
