The document outlines a framework for integrating technology in education using the TPACK model, emphasizing the alignment of pedagogical, content, and technological knowledge. It provides specific examples of how to implement technology into different subjects, including writing processes and history units, along with recommended tools and resources. The aim is to support diverse student needs and enhance learning experiences through technology.

2. OUTCOMES
1. Reflect on the ways in which you think, plan, and go
about technology integration
2. Generalize potential uses of technology through the
exploration of specific cases
3. Help you develop a list of free technologies that you and
your students can use

3. THE PK-CK-TK (TPACK) APPROACH
The best teaching and learning occurs when the following are
aligned:
Pedagogical knowledge - Methods
Content knowledge - Majors
Technological knowledge
Mishra & Kohler (2006); Schmidt, et al. (2009)

4. TAKE STOCK BEFORE CHOOSING A TECHNOLOGY
1. Reflect on pedagogical knowledge (PK, methods)–
1.How do my students learn?
2.What methods have I mastered?
2. Reflect on the content (CK, majors)–
1.What needs to be taught/learned?
2.What is my prior knowledge and understanding of this?
3.What prior knowledge/skills do my students have?

5. PEDAGOGICAL-CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (PK-CK)
What methods (PK) will
help my learners best
acquire target skills and
content (CK)?

6. NOW CHOOSE TECHNOLOGY (TK)
1. Find tools that are available to you
2. Select tools that may fit with your PK-CK
3. Determine the best tool for your PK-CK
1.Which one am I comfortable with?
2.Which one will my students be able to use?
3.Which one has the options I/my students will need to best
teach/learn?
4.Which one enhances the content of the lesson?
