The author has strong content knowledge of history but their pedagogical knowledge is developing as they have yet to complete their teaching practicums. Technology integration is the area that requires the most growth, as the author feels overwhelmed by new tools, but is willing to learn. Overall, the author recognizes the interconnected nature of technological, pedagogical and content knowledge as defined by the TPACK framework, and that fully developing these skills will come with time, practice and individual motivation.

Knowledge is the most developed area within the TPACK model. I am confident with the material I have studied and am well versed in researching any information that I may lack. History has always been of keen interest to me and as a result, I am highly motivated to understand all aspects of the Social Studies realm.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) PEDAGOGY: Learning how to teach is both, an art form as well as a science. While I feel growing sense of assuredness in this area, it is still in its early stages of development. I have yet to complete my IPT or APT, however, I am actively volunteering as a Study Buddy and have a natural inclination towards helping others learn. I also feel that my training in Special Education has given me many tool that I cant wait to utilize. TECHNOLOGY: Technology is the area that requires the most development for me. Regardless of my constant use of technology, it seems that there is always a new gadget, app or tool being marketed to the public, especially teachers, and it can sometimes leave me feeling overwhelmed. Thankfully, I am a quick learner and willing to invest the time necessary to broaden my skills. THE OVERLAP: PCK: I am able to connect the knowledge I have to how it would be best taught. TCK: I am able to utilize technology to acquire greater content knowledge (e.g. research topics). TPK: I need to work on how to best introduce technology within my scope of teaching. TPACK: I know I have a lot of Technology, Pedagogy and Content development ahead of me. It is clear that some of these skills will naturally come with time and practice (PCK), and that some (i.e. how to appropriately integrate technology into the classroom) will require individual motivation which I thankfully have!
