Now it is your turn to experience TPACK through instructional technology. When you mouse over the image below colored circles will appear in each of the areas of the TPACK framework. Hovering your mouse over a circle will show you my summary of each component. Clicking on the circles will play a video I feel represents each section. I hope you find this to be an engaging and educational TPACK experience.
After learning about TPACK (Mishra & Koehler's extension of Shulman's Pedagogical Content Knowledge) I couldn’t come to terms with just sitting down and writing a blog about it. Using a text-based method of communication didn’t seem appropriate to me since TPACK is all about using Technological, Pedagogical, And Content Knowledge to effectively teach with technology. I wanted my explanation to be interactive; I wanted it to be an actual model of TPACK. I believe in learning by doing, so I made an interactive visual summary of the TPACK framework using ThingLink, an interactive media platform which I had never used before (Psst! It is free for teachers), and the rights free image provided at http://tpack.org. Making this interactive model required me to find the appropriate tool and learn how to use it (Technological Knowledge), decide how the material should be presented (Pedagogical Knowledge), and learn the information myself (Content Knowledge).
Now it is your turn to experience TPACK through instructional technology. When you mouse over the image below colored circles will appear in each of the areas of the TPACK framework. Hovering your mouse over a circle will show you my summary of each component. Clicking on the circles will play a video I feel represents each section. I hope you find this to be an engaging and educational TPACK experience.

Thanks Meredith! Making the Thinglink really helped me better understand TPACK. I have to interact with content! I could see lots of social studies uses for this technology. Timelines and maps could really become interactive for the kids!

Thanks John! It was definitely a challenge to find just the right video. However, I have a much better understand of TPACK after actually using it. I am glad you liked it and can now use Thinglink yourself!

Your Thinglink is great! I love it! I am just catching up on everyone's blogs and prior to I had found the same cartoon which I put into Cooking with TPACK. It fits so perfectly.
