TPACK

I really enjoyed looking at the different aspects of TPACK. It is clear how important it is to understand how to combine and use Pedagogical Knowledge, Content Knowledge, and Technical Knowledge. They are all an integral part of providing a good education. Having a great deal of knowledge (CK) about a subject does not ensure you that you will be a good teacher. It is also important to know how to express that information (PK). However, simply knowing how to teach is not enough. You must also know a good deal about the subject you are teaching. Having a good understanding of Technology can really aid your teaching (TK). For example, I am a stats TA and we have recently acquired some lap-top computers and some projectors. However, I do not know how to use this equipment. If I did, there is a good chance it would improve the learning environment. Having Technological Knowledge can be a huge asset.
