TPACK

TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. TPACK is using technology to teach a specific content area accurately using effective teaching strategies and management practices (pedagogy). To teach using technology, a teacher must implement the other two aspects of TPACK, pedagogy and content knowledge. The teacher must know how to manage the class and have strategies to teach. The teacher must also have solid knowledge of the topic he or she is teaching. When pedagogy and content knowledge are present, then the teacher can use technology to enhance the teaching/learning process. Teachers must be aware that using technology alone is ineffective when it is not combined with good pedagogical practices and content knowledge.
