Week 3 PLE




TPACK
This week we learned about TPACK. This includes technological, pedagogical, content knowledge. TPACK is all encompassing of what we know about a certain subject area, what we know about technology, and how we can teach. It is very important for us to have TPACK because it can really help us make efficient, interactive lesson plans that the students will love. Some examples we learned about like using a GPS system to learn about geography or biology sounded so fun. These lessons can help the students get right down to the learning because they have the technology to make discoveries, the ability to use it, and the teacher has great ideas for using it to teach the students about certain topics. Lesson plans like this get the kids involved and are very useful to a positive and rich learning environment.
