As a teacher of the 21st century it is crucial to understand how to link technology with the curriculum and pedagogy to be a successful educator. To gain an in depth understanding the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge which will be referred to as TPACK Framework has been developed. The above image highlights the process involved to implement the TPACK framework in the classroom.
The main idea behind TPACK is to help teachers make connections between technology, pedagogy (teaching) and the content to be delivered. TPACK promotes teachers to use the curriculum and link this with how it will be taught/delivered and select a form of ICT which can enhance and create a 21st century learning environment.
Technology surrounds us in our day to day life. It is important to ensure you are teaching the children of the future how to work in this technological world. Plant the appropriate skills and knowledge to create lifelong learning. Not piecing the TPACK framework together is like planting a seed and denying it of basic needs. Put simply to be a 21st century learner means navigating technology and by linking content, pedagogy and technology together learning will be transformed .
Here is a youtube clip which explains TPACK further for those visual learners
