TPACK

Please watch above video for a brief intro to TPACK.

As the above diagram shows to be a Masterful 21st century teacher we need to hit the sweet spot between our content, pedagogy and technology knowledge.  If we could compare it to a wheel we don't want to be a lopsided wheel. We want each side or space to be proportionate with the others.

So how does TPACK play into this site?  In the video Punya Mishra gave a wonderful intro into TPACK but he glossed over something (he actually said that we did not need to know this at the very beginning of the video).   I feel I address this with my site.  So what is this thing?  Let me start by asking this.

What does technology change?
How we teach (pedagogy)
What we teach (content)
And the context within which teaching/learning happens

So the need to know is
What do teachers need to know?

I will say many teachers need but either don’t know where or how to look, is the technology that teachers have available and they don’t know how to use.  That is the purpose of this site.  A way for teachers to build up the T in TPACK.  In my experience I have found teachers who are good at pedagogy and content but lack the technological aspect of this model.  Until now...
