= = =A Framework For Thinking About Technology Use In Teaching=

In 2006, Punya Mishra and Matt Koehler, professors at Michigan State University, published a new framework for thinking about technology integration, the framework, eventually known as TPACK, takes Shulman's familiar venn diagram of Content / Pedagogical knowledge, and adds technology. What results from this addition really is a new way of thinking about teaching with technology. Technology isn't just projects that can be sprinkled into the existing curriculum for effect. Rather, it's a complicated set of questions that can really add value to instruction:
 * What do I want my students to know, think or do at the conclusion of this lesson?
 * What technologies make sense with what I am teaching?
 * What technologies make sense with how the lesson is being taught?
 * What do I and my students need to know in order for this lesson to work?
