How is technology helping your learning organization meet your goal? Schools, Districts, and Non-profits make large investments in technology to enhance the creativity and increase the achievement levels of their students. At times it does not seem that the investment in technology has yielded the desired results.
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) may be the issue that is holding your organization back from reaching your goal with students.
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) – “Underlying truly meaningful and deeply skilled teaching with technology, TPACK is different from knowledge of all three concepts individually. Instead, TPACK is the basis of effective teaching with technology, requiring an understanding of the representation of concepts using technologies; pedagogical techniques that use technologies in constructive ways to teach content; knowledge of what makes concepts difficult or easy to learn and how technology can help redress some of the problems that students face; knowledge of students’ prior knowledge and theories of epistemology; and knowledge of how technologies can be used to build on existing knowledge to develop new epistemologies or strengthen old ones” (Koehler & Mishra, 2009).
