TPACK

I learned a lot about the value of TPACK this last week and why it is so important for teachers to have this knowledge. TPACK stands for Technology, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge. Basically, TPACK is being able to understand and use technology, understanding and applying good teaching methods for the benifit of the students, and having a knowledge of facts, skills, contents in a particular area. So, if a teacher truly has a knowledge of TPACK and applies it in the classroom, their resources or tools are multiplied in so many ways and as a result, students are able to learn and expand their minds in great new ways. It makes teaching in the classroom much more effective.
