Adobe Reader, software used to view and fill PDF forms, is installed on most every computer.

"Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), builds on Shulman's idea of PCK, and attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK)."
