TPACK Model
What knowledge is of most worth
(when designing instruction)?
Herbert Spencer, Social Theorist, 1859
• 2006: In the midst of fast-paced technological
changes, the knowledge of most worth is
TPACK…
an ability to flexibly draw from and integrate
Knowledge of Technology, Pedagogy, And Content
(and their relationship to each other) into your
curriculum and instructional practices
Mishra & Koehler (2006)
New times + new literacies =
new mindsets
• New times (de Argaez, 2006; Pew Internet & American Life
Project, 2000-2009)
• New literacies (Leu, Kinzer, Coiro, & Cammack, 2004;
Spires, 2008)
• New mindsets (Lankshear & Knobel, 2007)
1. Same as always - now things are just
“technologized”
2. The world is fundamentally different - with
new ways of doing things and new
ways of being that are enabled by new
technologies
Why TPACK?
• Learning how to use technology is much
different than knowing what to do with it for
instructional purposes (e.g., Smartboard; Ning)
• Designing (or redesigning) instruction
requires an understanding of how knowledge
about content, pedagogy, and technology
overlap to inform your choices for curriculum
and instruction
What is
TPACK?

Mishra & Koehler (2006)
TPACK Model
Pedagogical Knowledge
Content Knowledge
Knowledge about the subject
matter being taught; including
facts, concepts, theories and
procedures, plus the nature of
inquiry in a given field.
Technology Content
Knowledge
Knowledge about how
technology and content are
reciprocally related.
Deep knowledge about the
processes, practices and
methods of teaching. Plus
understanding that teaching
may change with the use of
new technologies.
Technology Pedagogical
Content Knowledge
The thoughtful interweaving of
all three key sources of
knowledge: Technology,
Pedagogy, and Content.
Pedagogical Content
Knowledge
Technology Knowledge
Knowledge of basic and
advanced technology skills,
plus the ability to adapt new
technologies.
Technological
Pedagogical Knowledge
Knowledge of the components
and capabilities of various
technology used in teaching,
Knowledge of pedagogy that is
applicable to the teaching of
specific content.
Interactions of TPACK
, as described by Mishra & Koehler (2006), in Robin (2008).
The Question of the week…
How can you best use new technologies
associated with your content objectives to
promote student learning?
Throughout the week
(and back in your classroom)
Consider how your
pedagogical approaches
might be framed to
effectively integrate
technology into contentarea instruction?
What new knowledge/skills
might you need?
TPACK Guidelines
• Content focus: What content does this lesson focus on?
• Pedagogical focus: What pedagogical practices are
employed in this lesson?
• Technology used: What technologies are used?
• PCK: Do these pedagogical practices make concepts
clearer and/or foster deeper learning?
• TCK: Does the use of technology help represent the
content in diverse ways or maximize opportunities to
transform the content in ways that make sense to the
learner?
• TPK: Do the pedagogical practices maximize the use of
existing technologies for teaching and evaluating
learning?
• TPCK:How might things need to change if one aspect of
the lesson were to be different or not available?

Student 4 – Teachers will be exposed to the research of reading, what new media literacies are, and how to use a
few of them in their classroom. Parents will be exposed to the benefits of using new media literacies in the
classroom and see how teachers are using these new literacies in the classroom.

Student 5 –
I created two modules, one for educators and one for students, about how to incorporate Second Life into the
classroom. The modules review what Second Life is, how to use it, the research as to why it's being used in
education, and assignments students and instructors can participate in.

TPACK Reflection Points
•Enacting TPACK as a GA – it’s a journey!
•Varying levels of PSTeachers’ technological
access, competencies, and predisposition
•Time constraints – allow time for play
•Shifting from consumer to creator of media
•Developing critical media literacy skills
•Developing assessment tools to evaluate TPACK
processes and products
