My TPACK Journey The framework that we are investing ourselves in - TPACK, is something that I have been engaged in for many years, but without the realization of its title. TPACK is a model that by design engages the learner in a deep way. We as instructors should combine technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge in order to teach effectively. My content knowledge has always been strong. My pedagogical is intertwined with everything I do, each day that I teach. My technological prowess is...improving! Thank you - and I mean this - to Touro University and NapaLearns. Teaching during Covid has changed my life and the entire foundation on which I stand. I can not imagine plodding through the thick, muddy landscape that is distance learning without all the professional development, the offerings of camaraderie and kinship from my colleagues, and the education I am harnessing from Touro University. My personal TPACK journey is continuing and strengthening, which should help my students - of all abilities - become true 21st century learners.

I agree! Teaching during COVID has changed TPACK for me forever. It has changed how I view teaching, students, parents, administration, politicians, almost everything. I think that most of us would agree that our TPACK journey is something that is in constant development. It is not something that we will ever be done enhancing, tweaking and improving.

I agree. This really is a life ling journey. I always strive to take the lessons of my "tough times" and make sure that I have learned from them. It wounds like that is what you have been doing as well. I am wondering specifically what you will keep in your instructions when we are no longer in distance learning or hybrid?
