Hey, Mr. Smith! Have you thought about how TPACK can improve our teaching? It’s all about combining content, pedagogy, and technology!

TPACK? Sounds fancy, but can’t we just stick to what we already know?
Actually, Mr. Smith, TPACK helps us think about how to use technology effectively. It’s not just about having cool devices; it’s how they support what we teach.
Exactly! Let's say I’m teaching math, I can use apps that help students visualize concepts. That’s integrating technology effectively!
Wow, that sounds really interesting and helpful...maybe I could incorportate that into my classroom.
Okay, but what about the skills our students need? I worry they’ll miss out on important basics.
It means using technology to create new learning experiences. Like having students make a video presentation instead of a poster. That’s engaging and creative!
Right! It’s about actually using technology in the classroom and teaching the students how to interact with it.
Ohhhh I see. I can't believe I didn't know about this!
That’s where the 4Cs come in: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity! We can teach those through tech-integrated lessons.
I’d love to give it a try too and if it helps my students work together more, then I’m all for it!
Exactly! I plan to encorporate TPACK and SAMR in my lesson plans. I want to encourage creativity and collaboration by having students work in pairs on digital projects.
Let’s all support each other in this! We can create a balanced approach that combines the best of both worlds.
Absolutely! Together, we can enhance our students’ learning experiences! Let's get to it!
Wow, that sounds really interesting and helpful...maybe I could incorportate that into my classroom.
