TPACK is a framework for effective teaching with technology that requires teachers to have knowledge in three main domains: 1) pedagogical knowledge, or knowledge of teaching methods and strategies; 2) content knowledge, or knowledge of the subject matter being taught; and 3) technological knowledge, or knowledge of technologies and how to use them. Effective teaching with technology involves understanding how to represent concepts using technologies, using technologies in constructive ways to teach content, and how technology can help address difficulties students face in learning.

2. TPACK
TPACK is the basis of effec+ve teaching with technology:
requiring an understanding of
*the representa+on of concepts using technologies;
*pedagogical techniques that use technologies in construc+ve
ways to teach content;
*knowledge of what makes concepts difficult or easy to learn
and how technology can help redress some of the problems
that students face;
*knowledge of students’ prior knowledge and theories of
epistemology;
and knowledge of how technologies can be used to build on
exis+ng knowledge to develop new epistemologies or
strengthen old ones.
