TPACK (My new Rapper name)

I thought I would just add this Clip that AlyssaJayneGDLT got me onto. It explains TPACK incredibly well

This did get me thinking why hasn't the technology aspect been brought up before. Technology doesn't have to mean digital it just means in its most simplest term a tool, whether that's a computer, smart phone, App, or book, printing press, pencil and paper or Language.

The Mishra and Koehler reading made three very good points in connection to technology for teaching. The drew on one of the reasons Shulman brought together the PCK was "the ways of representing and formulating subject to make it more accessible and comprehensible." and this is still true. What Mishra and Koehler say is that digital technology in particular has become more and more into the forefront since Shulman's 1980's.  Mishra and Koehler also say that "the rapid rate of evolution of these new digital technologies prevents them from becoming ‘‘transparent’’ any time soon. Teachers will
have to do more than simply learn to use currently available tools; they also
will have to learn new techniques and skills as current technologies become obsolete."

But not only is technology growing and changning faster it's also at the same time creating new ways of seeing the world we live in and profoundly changing our understanding of our world, universe and ourselves. It's important now more than ever that we are aware of what we teach (content) with what tools we teach (technology) and how we teach (pedagogy) our children into the future  because our picture of that future is changing every year, month, day, hour, minute and even second
