TPACK

TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical And Content Knowledge. Teachers need to have a knowledge in all of these areas and then be able to effectively tie them together to create a stimulating learning environment in the classroom. There are many resources available online to help you learn the content, how to teach it, and how to use technology to help you teach it or help children learn. Technology can make the content and teaching much more exciting for children. One of the coolest websites available for teachers to use in their classrooms to help teach science is Google Sky. You can focus in on different parts of the sky and see a lot of details from the telescope tht they use! You can also see a lot of different constelations and they will outline them for you in the sky. You can learn about the solar systems, galexy and see awesome space images to help students picture what you are talking about. There is so much that you can do on this website and it will really get students excited! It is very user friendly and the students could get onto the website themselves and learn more.
