TPACK

TPACK stands for technological pedagogical and content knowledge. It is important for teachers to have knowledge of three areas of TPACK which are technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and content knowledge. TK is knowledge required to understand and use various technologies in the classroom. PK is general knowledge and skills developed by a teacher to understand how to best teach a classroom. CK is the knowledge of facts and information about a particular domain. It is most effective if a teacher is efficient in each three of these areas to most enhance learning in the classroom. When technology is incorporated with activities students are engaged in their learning and excited about what they can do and learn from technology.
