TPK vs. TPACK

TPK and TPACK are ways for using technology in the classroom. TPACK is used for more specific areas and topics where technology enhances the topic being taught. In my future classroom I hope to use TPACK to get my students more involved in the lessons. I might assign my students to submit their work in a Google Document or have them send an asynchronous video to me explaining what they learned while doing their homeowork. TPK is less interactive and might be a power-point or a computer presentation given as the lesson. Both I can see will be very helpful as a teacher and hopefully interesting for the students. It seems like kids know a lot about technology these days so it is useful to get them involved in ways that they enjoy.
