Week Three

This week we learned about the acronym TPACK. There are three kinds of knowledge: pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, and technological knowledge. There can be a couple combinations of these knowledges, with assorted acronyms. The point is to try to be proficient in all three of them, thus combining all of the initials into a super-acronym: TPACK.
If teachers are fortunate enough to be proficient in TPACK the will be able to better teach their students and incorporate new experiences that will benefit the class.
This week I also had the chance to explore some science/math technologies available to teachers on the internet. I enjoyed exploring Google Earth.
