What is TPACK?

Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) is an emerging model of learning and teaching. It incorporates the existing notion of Pedagogical Content Knowledge, the ability of a teacher to blend content knowledge and "tools" of teaching together for organised and adapted instruction to a learner, and incorporates technology into this framework. TPACK can not be itemised into an expert in knowledge, technology and general pedagogy, but rather an equal mix of these skills. TPACK is the basis of good teaching with technology and can help enhance learning both new concepts and redress some concepts that students have difficulty understanding.
The effective use of TPACK requires a good understanding of concepts using technology and pedagocical techniques that use technology in constructive ways.
