Week 11...

In week 11, we have been taught about TPACK. What is TPACK? TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. It is a theory that was developed to explain the set of knowledge that teachers need to teach their students a subject by using technology. TPACK can be used in classroom by keeping technology. If we understand the function of TPACK, we can use technology into the content and pedagogy in our teaching. This will help our students learning more effectively. First, choose the learning outcomes that we will be working on that day or during that class session. The learning outcomes will become the content. The second step is choosing an activity type. The activity type is the pedagogy or how are the students going to learn the content. Finally, we can choose technologies that will support the activity type in learning. Last but not least, in becoming a great teacher, we have to combine our knowledge of the subject with our knowledge of how to teach. By using technology, we need to also learn how to combine technology with our content and pedagogy to create an effective learning environment so that it will become fun and interesting.
