What is TPACK?Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge.

http://www.links999.net/utopia/education.htmlDon Knezek, chief executive officer of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), says the “digital divide,” the gap between people with and without effective access to digital technology and its impact on their earnings, now also is seen as a “learning divide.” That means, he says, that “kids don’t have the opportunity to learn, as well as earn,” if they don’t have digital skills. While students formerly had the classroom teacher as their “sole guide,” they now can use those skills, as well as new digital tools, to connect and interact with experts around the world, and “that makes so much difference in helping kids learn and advance and stay engaged,” Knezek says.
The impact is that the “Connected Generation” typically has to disconnect when they enter the classroom. This concept of disconnecting is a concern for many teachers, who want to meet children where they are – and they are digital learners.
