TPACK

TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. It is the knowledge of how to use technology to support content-specific pedagogical methods and strategies. It is important for teachers to have knowledge in all three domains (technology, pedagogy, and content). If a teacher is qualified in all of these three areas, and integrates their knowledge into each of their lessons, student learning will soar.

To me, the following are some of the best tools available for integrating technology into the classroom: Google Earth and Sky, Virtual Pond, Celestia, Kidsperation, and Digital Microscope. These technological tools can really help students DO science and math.
