Remember: Technology should not be used because it is an exciting instrument but rather should help

forward your mission.

“At the heart of the TPACK framework, is

the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content

(CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK).”

-Dr. Matthew J. Koehler
