Task 1 (TPACK). Translator

Hi everyone! :)

I am María José, one of the members of the group Busy Bees and this week I am the TRANSLATOR. My role consists in selecting five important concepts about the task that we have done.This is my first time so I 'm going to try to explain it as well as possible.The five concepts that we have learnt this week are the following:

TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge): TPACK TPACK is a model that is offered to teachers, a mental structure for thinking about the different areas of knowledge related to an effective teaching and the interaction of knowledge and skills necessary for the effective integration of technology. It is composed by three kinds of knowledge (technology, pedagogy and content) and their interactions: TCK (Technological Content knowledge), TPK (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge) and PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge).

TCK (Technological Content knowledge): how teachers choose tool and technological resources that will help students to learn contends curricular programs.Furthermore, they have to know what technologies are more useful to present the content.

TPK (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge): Knowledge of how to teach well with new tools and technological resources

PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge): know what to teach and how to teach it. It includes the essential interests of teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment and reporting, and also the relationship between curriculum, assessment and pedagogy.

CK (Content Knowledge): knowledge of what it is teaching. In other words Content knowledge alludes to the theories, concepts or ideas of mathematics, art, science… that would be taught in class.

Here you have the references that I have used to define these concepts:
