The document discusses Andrew Church's Taxonomy of teacher knowledge, which includes Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). TPACK is the basis for effectively integrating technology into teaching. It involves having knowledge of technology, pedagogy, content, and most importantly, how to interweave these knowledge types to teach content in constructive ways using appropriate technologies that assist student learning. TPACK requires understanding how technology can be used to represent specific subject matter concepts, as well as knowing students' prior knowledge to decide on suitable tools.

5. Andrew Church’s Taxonomy

7. What is technology integration?
• Teaching .. Highly complex – many types of
knowledge
Knowledge about actual subject Knowledge about the practices and
matter to be learned and taught processes of teaching and learning

8. Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
How particular aspects of subject matter are organized, adapted and represented for
instruction. Knowledge includes knowing how elements of the content be arranged
for better teaching.

9. Advent of Technology
Knowledge of standard technology including
skills to operate technology, software, peripheral
devices, install software.

10. Technological Pedagogical Knowledge
Knowledge of
the existence,
components,
and capabilities
of technology as
they are used in
teaching and
learning.
Specifically
focused on tools

11. Technological Content Knowledge
Knowledge of
how technology
and content are
related. How
technology will
assist how
content is taught.

12. Technological Pedagogical Content
1. Grounded in good Knowledge
teaching using
technology.
2. Pedagogical
techniques that use
technologies in
constructive ways to
teach content
3. Knowledge of what
makes concepts
difficult or easy to
learn
4. Knowledge of
students prior
knowledge

13. TPACK
• Thoughtful interweaving of all key sources of
knowledge
• Deciding on a particular tool that can teach
the content and assist the students learning
