Module 4: Transforming the Classroom Using Technology



In this module, learners are introduced to the interaction between teaching, content, and technology, using the acronym TPACK.

This acronym invites teachers to consider how essential the tool is to achieving learning outcomes, and whether it simply replaces an older type of technology, or if it transforms the learning process itself.
