The TPACK (ramework The TPACK is a framework that shows the !ypes o% know'edge invo'ved in !he !eachers capaci!y !o in!egra!e !echno'ogy in the teaching&learning process This was
proposed by )ishra and Koehler in *++, These three types or bodies of knowledge can be described separately but they work together" each time you -as the future teacher. use technology for instruction /eflect on yourself as you read about the three# 0 Techno'ogica' echno'ogica' know'edge know'edge this refers not only on whether you are computer literate but also on knowing what technology is best to use and how they should be utili'ed in teaching Technology here can be as simple as the chalk and the blackboa blackboard rd or as complic complicate ated d as augment augmented ed reality reality As technolo technology gy is ever& ever& changing" your technological knowledge is also something that must be ever& developing * $edagogica' know'edge this refers to the principles principles and strategies of teaching !t includ includes es your your knowl knowled edge ge of the the lear learner ners" s" and and in formul formulat ating ing ob1ec ob1ectiv tives es"" designing activities and assessing your learners 2 &on!en! &on!en! know'edge know'edge this refers to how well you know the sub1ect area or topic that you will teach !t includes how wide and how deep you know about what you will teach 3ou can see from the diagram that two circles overlap with each other" while all three of them overlap as well Each two circle overlap indicates the interaction of technological and content knowledge -TCK." content and pedagogical knowledge -CPK." and pedagogical and technological knowledge The middle most part of the diagram shows the interaction or interfacing of the three" which is the technological pedagogical content knowledge -TPACK. This is what is very important for you to be able to use technology effectively in teaching 3ou need to be aware of your strengths and weakness in the three and reflect how you can grow in each one and use them together as best as you can owever this framework framework in mind as you analy'e and reflect in this episode about your own knowledge in using technology in teaching

A volcano is a mountain that opens downward downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth >hen pressure builds up" eruptions occur :ases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments Eruptions can cause lateral blasts" lava flows" hot ash flows" mudslides" avalanches" falling ash and floods 9olcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis" flash floods" earth?uakes" mudflows and rockfalls How are volcanoes formed? 9olcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth@s upper mantle works its way to the surface At the surface" it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits 6ver time as the volcano continues to erupt" it will get bigger and bigger What are the different types of volcanoes? 9olcanoes are grouped into four types# cinder cones" composite volcanoes" shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes Cinder ConesCinder cones are circular or oval cones made up of small fragments of lava from a single vent that have been blown into the air" cooled and fallen around the vent
Composite 9olcanoesComposite volcanoes are steep&sided volcanoes composed of many layers of volcanic rocks" usually made from high&viscosity lava" ash and rock debris )t /ainier and )ount 7t elens are examples of this type of volcano 7hield 9olcanoes7hield volcanoes are volcanoes shaped like a bowl or shield in the middle with long gentle slopes made by basaltic lava flows =asalt lava flows from these volcanoes are called flood basalts The volcanoes that formed the basalt of the Columbia Plateau were shield volcanoes

The skills that probably helped me to prepare the materials ! needed for my topic are# being computer literate and my sense of art %uring my high school days" every graduation ! always received the D=est in Computer Award and the D=est in Arts Award ! must say that my ability to manipulate computer especially with )icrosoft power point make it easy for me to prepare my visual aids Also" my sense of art or becoming artistic helped me to make my visual aids -power point and charts. more attractive and eye& catching >hen it comes to difficulty" ! didn5t encounter any (or when it comes to visual aids and making learning materials it is my Dspecialty and making visual aid is a passion and provides en1oyment for me
