TPACK stands for technological pedagogical content knowledge, and is what all teachers are supposed to work towards in the classroom. When broken down, content knowledge means knowing the necessary information in a particular subject, pedagogical knowledge means knowing how to teach this information to students, and technological knowledge means knowing how to effectively incorporate technology into a lesson plan.
It is important for every teacher to understand the concepts of TPACK, because our world is becoming more and more technologically advanced. Students are used to having technology in their daily lives and the constant stimulation they provide. For this reason, it would be unwise for a teacher to completely ignore technology or leave it out of the classroom. Technology is becoming an imperative aspect of classroom learning. However, technology must be used wisely and purposefully. It should only be incorporated into a lesson plan if it will enhance the students’ learning.
This leads to an important aspect of TPACK: it is not only about technology. First and foremost, a teacher should know the subject they are teaching and how to teach it. Technology does not replace pedagogical or content knowledge, but rather adds another dimension to it. Arguably, the most effective teachers will be the ones that understand and use the concepts of TPACK in the classroom. I, as a future teacher, have a responsibility to my students and my school to be that effective teacher, who knows how to provide students with an excellent education in the 21st century.
21st Century Skills & TPACK (English version)Petra Fisser
Tijdens een conferentie van de Poolse Centre for education development gaf Petra Fisser een keynote presentatie over competenties die leraren nodig hebben om hun leerlingen voor te bereiden op leren en werken in de 21e eeuw, waarbij een belangrijke rol is weggelegd voor de integratie van ict in het onderwijs. Daarbij werden 21st century skills gekoppeld aan het TPACK model.
The TPACK framework has been used to prepare prospective science teachers at the Public Authority of Applied Education and Training (PAAET) in Kuwait for technology integration in education. Prospective science teachers worked in teams to design a technological solution for a pedagogical problem that teachers usually face. Prospective science teachers were separated in two groups. The first group was coached by technology, pedagogy, and content experts (human support condition). The second group (blended support condition) was supported by using a blended approach, by which they had access to an online portal with different tutorials and examples and they also had the opportunity to meet with the technology, pedagogy and content experts whenever needed. From the literature there is strong evidence that a positive teacher attitude towards technology plays a critical role in the success of the technology integration process, but only a positive attitude to use technology in education is pointless if it is not supported with the necessary skills to use technology (Christensen & Knezek, 2008). In a pre-test post test design data were collected of prospective science teachers’ attitude toward ICT, their ICT skills, and their TPACK. The study showed that the attitude towards ICT, Technological Knowledge (TK) and technological skills were increased. This implies that the prospective teachers became more competent and confident in using technology. It was also found that there was significant growth in TPACK. However, it was found that the blended support condition had a higher increase in their Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and their attitude toward computer as a tool for productivity and enjoyment compared to the human support condition. This indicates that the blended approach for supporting design teams could be a suitable method to enhance the development of TPACK.

This portfolio will help future educators to be aware of the capabilities of a teacher that must be present on themselves. In addition, this will also help the institution and the teachers to have proper implementation of technology in order for their students to learn better,actively and progressively.
TPACK + Mathematics: A Review of Current TPACK LiteratureIJITE
This paper will summarize a review of current literature on the Technology, Pedagogy and Content
Knowledge (TPACK) framework, discuss innovative technology integration in teacher preparation and
mathematics methods courses for teacher candidates studying elementary education. Themes that emerged
in the review of current TPaCKliterature included the importance of understanding the TPACK framework,
developing self efficacy, the vital role that modeling plays, how collaboration impacts and finally, just how
powerful reflection can be in the application of TPACK. This paper will examine and explain these
different themes and summarize the current literature as well as highlight trends on technology integration
and TPACK.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
