TPACK Development Article Response

After reading the article "Instructional Planning Activity Types as Vehicles for Curriculum-Based TPACK Development," I have a different understanding of technology integration and framework. Let me start with what my perception of integrating techonolgy. We use what is available (focusing on technology). I believe the article referred to this as "technocentric." Now, let me share what I have learned.

TPACK development utilizes three areas of planning (content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge) to help educators better understand how to integrate techonology. The most important piece of information that I gathered was that educators need to take the curriculum and integrate technology to work with the curriculum and what has been planned.

I also appreciated the breakdown of types of taxonomy. Each activity type and type of technology that would be most beneficial was specifically addressed. There were some types of technology that I am not familiar with but look forward to learning.

Overall, I understood the article and the points being made. Information provided supported what the authors were trying to convey. The only issue that was not addressed was limited resources and lack of funds available to acquire the technology. I understand that this was not the purpose of the authors; however that is the question that educators want to know.
