TPACK

1. Add a post explaining what you understand about TPACK and why it is necessary for teachers to have this knowledge.
TPACK: The TPACK framework is a way of thinking about how you integrate technology into your teaching. It stands for Technological Pedagogical And Content Knowledge. I have learned so much about TPACK. I think that it is important to have a firm knowledge on all three main aspects of TPACK. If you have a firm understanding of technological, pedagogical and content knowledge then you will be able to create a lesson that will help all students learn. It is important for teachers to have this knowledge because it will help their students to learn. If you can have can obtain a firm grasp of TPACK then you will be more successful as a teacher.
2. Also include a post on your blog about one of the science/math technologies you explored.
I explored the use of the temperature rods. I think that if you have the right project and lesson then these rods would be fun. Although they are fun to work with I have a hard time seeing how they could really help students understand a difficult concept. This project helped me see that just because something is cool and fun, doesn’t mean it is the right source to use.
