Taking a spin with TPAK

My quest was to video myself making a tiny bridge out of cling wrap. 

Completing this quest required learning how to upload a video to the computer. Splicing two videos and then uploading to YouTube. The TPACK framework argues that effective technology integration for teaching specific content or subject matter requires understanding and negotiating the relationships between these three components: Technology, Pedagogy, and Content. A teacher capable of negotiating these relationships represents a form of expertise different from, and (perhaps) broader than, the knowledge of a disciplinary expert (say a scientist or a musician or sociologist), a technology expert (a computer engineer) or an expert at teaching/pedagogy (an experienced educator). This was the purpose of the exercise- To expand and combine content, pedagogy and technology. 

The TPACK framework highlights complex relationships that exist between content, pedagogy and technology knowledge areas and may be a useful organizational structure for defining what it is that teachers need to know to integrate technology effectively. (info on TPAK from Wikipedia)
