TPAK

I'm excited to learn how to be a TPAK teacher. I found it very interesting to learn about different types of teachers within the TPAK definitions. First, Technological savvy teachers a teacher can know a lot about technology and know how to use it, but not know a thing about the content matter they are teaching or not know at all how to go about teaching it to students. Second, a Pedigogical teachers can know the best procedures to use when teaching specific students, but not know a thing about technology or about the content matter they are teaching. Third, a Content knowledgeable teacher can know everything there is to know about their subject and not have a clue how to teach it or how to include technology.
After understanding the three different types of teaching skills it was obvious that the best teacher would be one that contains all three components. A teacher definitely needs to know the content that they are teaching and know how to teach it, and at the same time know how to incorporate technolody into their classroom. By having a teacher that is well rounded in these three components the students will learn much more than they ever would have by the power of synergy.
