The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) has embraced TPACK in its professional development model. They decided to integrate the model in every aspect of classroom teaching and learning.

A brief and engaging explanation of TPACK.

Bruce McCandliss, professor in Stanford's Graduate School of Education and the director of the Stanford Center for Mind, Brain and Computation, speaks about brain-imaging technology that is revolutionizing the study of educational experiences and their effect on the brain.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In her TEDxJacksonville talk, she vividly depicts the incalculable value of memory and movement, and the devastating biological effects of these diseases on the brain. She also details recent advances in computing technology that may help elucidate treatment targets for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. "We are now building revolutionary computer simulations of neurons," she explains, "so we can have better insight into the molecular behaviors of neural cells so we can see a play-by-play of the interworking of neurons rather than static pictures frozen in time."

This could be addition to Elanur's "All in the mind?" post. There is often a big divide between what happens in the laboratory and the way laboratory findings are practically applied. The relationship between neuroscience research and education is no exception. While there are numerous educational products that claim to be based on neuroscience research (often quite dubiously so), the real impact of brain-based research on education has been much more subtle.

There is no agreement on whether studying the way the brain works can help improve educational outcomes, but the discussion is a hot topic amongst educational experts.

As methods of imaging the brain improve, neuroscientists and educators can now identify changes in children's brains as they learn, and start to develop ways of personalizing instruction for kids who are falling behind.

Are you prepared to step out of the box? Before watching this video, what I knew about TPACK was limited. I found this video useful because it clearly states we need to integrate context, pedagogy and technology.

This video is a must to understand what TPACK is.

A game engaging the players into TPACK by doing.  It seems like I know this game before but how? :)

This is good an example game to comprehend TPACK :)

In this interview Dr. Punya Mishra is talking about TPACK. In the interview, Dr. Mishra discusses the TPACK Model that he and Dr. Matthew Koelher developed. He begins the interview with an overview of the model. Dr. Mishra discusses how the model can shape educational technology integration in teacher education, K-12, and in professional development. He talks about where he sees the future development of TPACK going. The interview ends with advice he has regarding the implementation of the TPACK model in teaching and learning.

The interview about TPACK with Mishra who is one of the person who claimed TPACK.

Selçuk this video explains TPACK in a simple and clear way, thanks.

This is an example of TPACK method demonstrated at a rural Texas elementary school. They combine the content knowledge and pedagogical strengths of two deeply skilled teachers.

This is also a beneficial website attempting to explain the seven components of TPACK

'The Many Faces of TPACK: Perspectives and Approaches" is a Wikibook created as part of the Research and Practice on Technology in Teacher Education Course (EDS 536) taught at Middle East Technical University in Spring 2013.

This website is devoted to Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. There you can ask your questions and find out the studies done in this field.

I would also share this beneficial website. Thanks a lot :)

This video is the short brief of TPACK.

OER, a part of the global open content movement, are shared teaching, learning, and research resources available under legally recognized open licenses -- free for people to reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. Why are OER important? High-quality OER can save teachers significant time and effort on resource development and advance student learning inside and outside the classroom.

Technology integration is the use of technology resources -- computers, mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, digital cameras, social media platforms and networks, software applications, the Internet, etc. -- in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school.
