The TPACK framework requires understanding the negotiation between content, pedagogy, and technology. It includes seven knowledge areas: content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, technology knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, technology content knowledge, technology pedagogical knowledge, and TPACK, which builds on the core ideas of how teachers can creatively integrate technology within a contextual framework by understanding the complex relationships between students, content, parents, technology, and teachers.
