Translator. 2 Practices: Illustrating Words & Exploring TPACK

This week, I would like to highlight some words which are the most important ones that have been used to develop our practices.
 
On one hand, in our first practice I would like to emphasise the world “BELLIGERENT” because the group who had to guess the meaning of our picture had some problems and they put “INDIGNATLY” instead of “BELLIGERENT”.

Belligerent: Person or a country engaged in fighting or war.

On the other hand, in our second practice I would like to emphasize the following words:

TPACK: Conceptual model that provides teachers a mental framework for thinking about the different areas of knowledge related to effective teaching and the interaction of knowledge and skills which are necessary for the effective integration of technology.
TPACK framework is composed of three primary forms of knowledge: TK- Technological Knowledge, PK- Pedagogical Knowledge andCK- Content Knowledge. They are essential to good teaching and learning and they are also essential for the successful use of technology in the classroom.

Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) is a comprehension of how teaching and learning can change when we use technological tools. This includes knowledge of the advantages and limitations of such tools to promote or restrict certain kind of pedagogical designs and strategies.
 
Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) is an understanding of the mode in which Technology and Content influence are hold back one to another. Teachers need to become an expert of the subject and also they need to have an appropriate comprehension of the mode in which the subject material can be changed by the application of technologies.

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) includes the essential part of the activity of teaching, learning, curriculum, evaluation and reporting, such as the conditions that promote learning and the links between curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy.
