Corgito ergo sum…

 

    For this session on I learn, I question, the remark above comes to mind.  It means ‘I think therefore I am.  Why this remark?  In relation with tpack, we, the educators must constantly think and ponder of this concept as we plan our teaching and learning process.  It is inevitable, tpack and teaching-learning process…ebony and ivory..peas in the pod.  A simple writing lesson can have an integration of technology whereby Word is used by the teacher to demonstrate the development of a paragraph with students typing away, editing, undo, do, cut and paste the paragraph until the desired paragraph is achieved.  The writing process is smoother as students are more focused on developing a paragraph …rather than cancelling with correction fluid or tape at all time.  What about students listening to an mp3- text through the speaker and notebook of the teacher while filling in blanks in their task….the activities infused with technology are endless so knowing tpack is not just vital but it is a cardinal sin not to think about tpack…

    But as I look at the articles on tpack, I wonder…do I do tpack in class actually?  Do I really understand the concept and its application in the teaching and learning process?  I understand and accept the fusion among technology, pedagogy and content knowledge but, there are some uncertainties in me when discussing the concept of tpack.
