1. TPCK is the knowledge the teacher has about a certain technology. The teacher needs to be able to understand enough about the technology so that it aids in the student's learning. The teacher also needs to be able to teach the students how to use the technology so it can be a useful tool to the students. The TPCK for a teacher is largely based on how they learn a technology or the environment in which the learning took place. Constant innovations in technology help to enhance a teachers TPCK.
What types of technologies benefit students the best in classrooms?
Learning about TPCK is useful because it tells teachers they cannot be satisfied with the knowledge they have at the moment. If teachers do not grow and learn about technologies relevant to society then the student will not be as exposed to them and not learn how to interact and benefit from these technologies.
