TPACK DevelopmentKAYLA LAND 

What is TPACK?

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework

that identifies the knowledge teachers need to teach effectively

with technology. 

Why Is It Important?

Teaching with technology is now a requirement for Alberta teachers. It introduces new challenges for teachers to update their teaching style. TPACK is a great tool of reference for teachers to be aware of their teaching styles in the classroom and how to improve. 

My Personal TPACK

IN MY TPACK MODEL I INCLUDED BOTH MY CURRENT AND IDEAL TPACK VENN DIAGRAM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE TAPCK MODEL SHOULD BE  IS PERFECTLY BALANCED BETWEEN THE THREE KNOWLEDGES, SO I PROTRAYED MY PERSONAL VIEW POINT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF EACH TYPE OF KNOWLEDGE.

ContentI feel very confident

in my content knowledge. I am learning much more complex

knowledge in both mathematics and

chemistrycurrently. I believe I

will not feel 'filled' in content knowledge until 

I am in a classroom and have gone 

over the specific age group's 

curriculum.

Pedagogical Knowledge

Throughout my studies I ambeginning to feel more 

comfortable with the idea ofbecoming a teacher. I have 

begun to develop my individualteaching strategy, with a focus on inquiry based learning. One of the 

aspects of teaching that most frightens me in the classroom 

management. I also want to growmore in different teaching techniques for the diverse 

learners I will teach. 

My Ideal pedagogical bubble I made the largest because I believe these skills are the 

most important for being an effective teacher 

and for students to have the most growth. 

Technological Knowledge

My technological bubble is fairly small yet growing. I am beginning to learn new

forms of social media and creating PLNs. I see such potential for my growth as a teacher through social networks.

However, I am struggling with integrating technology into my classroom. I find such fun activities yet I am unsure of if they will

be effective teaching tools as well.
