TPACK

TPACK stands for Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge. Technological knowledge has to do with knowing how to use technology. Pedagogical knowledge has to do with knowing how to teach. And content knowledge has to do with knowing a lot about a specific subject.

When you combine each of these elements in different ways, you get different types of knowledge. For example, pedagogical content knowledge (or PCK) would be knowing how to teach a specific subject such as biology. Possible combinations include technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), technological content knowledge (TCK), pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK or TPACK).

It is important for teachers to understand TPACK because it allows them to think about various teaching strategies and ways to present information. Furthermore, teachers must have a solid TPACK background because they need all of these skills to be proficient teachers.
