TPACK was a new phrase for me when I first started this program. Once we learned more about it then it became clear. It is a balance of technology, pedagogy, and content. It is not enough to bring in technology into the classroom if it’s not meaningful. As a teacher I have to be able to make a connection to the content by using pedagogy skills and by bringing in technology to tie it all together. It is not an easy task it takes time and thought to make it work. Finding the balance is key because if we only incorporate technology without content or pedagogy in mind then it is not meaningful for the students. The same goes if we only incorporate pedagogy and content in isolation. I still struggle to find this balance, but at least I now know there is a balance I am working towards.

I couldn't agree about the time and thought it takes to make it work. Add in there failure and relearning how to use the technology. Hopefully it will can start to happen after the learning curve is a little less. I thing the struggle for finding the balance will be ongoing. Seems like right when I figure something out is changes or something new and better comes by.
