This document discusses TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge), a framework for teacher knowledge needed for technology integration. It consists of: Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Technological Knowledge, Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Technological Content Knowledge, and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge. The document also discusses constructivism theory and how it supports active, student-centered learning. When combined with TPACK, constructivism allows for successful technology integration by enhancing student activities, creativity, collaboration, and learning opportunities through technology tools. The benefits of integrating technology into a constructivist classroom include improved access to information, language support, and enhanced learning outcomes.
