TPCK

TPCK is the combination of Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge.

In the time we live in, technology is no longer an outside possibility in the education process. If we are planning on preparing our students for the real world it is vital that they are familiar with web 2.0 and how the web can be used to help them determine their own educational goals.

Pedagogy is important because it is a fluid study of the best teaching strategies according to our understanding. It is the distribution of knowledge.

Content Knowledge is of course crucial to the good teacher. In order to use technology to its best potential and to implement current pedagogical strategies for the best interest of the student, the teacher must be comfortable and assured in their content knowledge. If this is the case, then the teacher can be more confident in experimenting with web 2.0 in the classroom.
