What is TPACK?

 
TPACK is the basis of meaningful teaching with assistance of technology. It requires the understanding of pedagogical techniques, and teaching concepts using technology in a constructive way. We could use the new trends in technology to teach the most commonly difficult concepts that students face, as well as help to understand how technology can be used to build academic materials easier to teach.  Understanding the theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge especially with reference to its limits and validity; it will help expand knowledge and build new.

The heart of TPACK is a combination of three primary forms of knowledge: CONTENT (which is what teachers are to learn and teach), PEDAGOGY (The process and practices/methods of teaching and learning), AND TECHNOLOGY. Furthermore, the framework product of the areas where these three forms intersect: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), combined form Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK).

TPACK is a range of teaching techniques related to pedagogy and content that has been around for quite some time, and is very popular among researchers and scholars.  TPACK informs teachers of all platforms, and application ,designed to offer the students the opportunity to experience, and embrace, social media in an academic way; engaging with experts, and collaborate with peers around the word in a safe environment. Its goal is to keep teachers up to date with the upcoming technology trends, such as BYOD, OER, E-Portfolios, LMS, or GBL.

In other words, TPACK is a combination of technological tools put together in a format easy to follow and apply by educators in the classrooms, helping them improve the learning process by making it fun for students to learn in an interactive way, connecting all three forms of knowledge Content, Pedagogy, and Technology into one.
