EdT201-ICT in Teaching and Learning

  Integrating TPACK model in primary lesson plan Today we were introduced to the TPACK model which  helps educators thoughtfully integrate technology into their lessons. It combines three knowledge areas: Technological Knowledge (understanding tech tools), Pedagogical Knowledge (effective teaching strategies), and Content Knowledge (expertise in the subject matter). Imagine these areas as interlocking circles. In a primary lesson, TPACK might be used to create an interactive game about shapes. The teacher (using Technological Knowledge) utilizes an online game platform, while students (applying Pedagogical Knowledge) practice identifying shapes and (using Content Knowledge) learn their properties. This way, technology becomes a tool to enhance, not replace, effective teaching and deepens student learning.
