TPACK and a Kitchen...Wait What?????? This week in CEP 810 we explored the idea of TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge). “PCK is a type of knowledge that combines content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. (See chart below). The spot in the middle shows a type of knowledge that teachers have” (Dillman, 2018). An example is “I know social studies” and “I know teaching” to become “I know teaching social studies to students. Our learning activity tools us from the classroom to the comfort of our kitchen. I asked my girlfriend to get me a plate, bowl, and a cooking utensil with no other directions or influence in her decisions. She picked a normal dinner plate, the biggest baking bowl we have, and a spatula. Then I face-timed my 2-year old niece and asked her to pick a number from a hat (between 1-4). She selected #1 which was to slice hard cheese for a cheese platter. Since the tool I normally would use in this situation wasn't available I decided to use the spatula. After about two slices, my patience ran out and I abandoned ship. As in the classroom with our students, we have to learn to adjust on the fly. Want to know how it ended? Check out my video below to see how the rest of the activity went! References: Dillman, B. (2018). PCK diagram [Image]. Used with permission. Candace M. (2013, April 26). TPACK in 2 minutes. [Video].
