=TPACK and Lesson Plans=

When utilizing TPACK in the development of lessons, there are three main areas on which to concentrate. ("A change in any one factor has to be 'compensated' by changes in the other two.")
 * 1) Content: subject matter to be learned
 * 2) Pedagogy: purpose, values, and methods used to teach and evaluate learning
 * 3) Technology: foundational and new technologies

Additionally, you will focus on the following:
 * 1) What pedagogical strategies make concepts difficult or easy to learn?
 * 2) What pedagogical strategies enable you to get the most out of existing technologies for teaching and evaluation learning?
 * 3) How is the content represented and transformed by the application of technology?
