The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_Pedagogical_Content_Knowledge Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge] framework provides a useful basis to understand the integration of ICTs in education. It has seven components - Technological  Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Content Knowledge,  Technological Content Knowledge, Technological Pedagogical Knowledge and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

===Content and Pedagogy===

===Content and Pedagogy===

#Content: Which includes all that the teacher needs to know to teach. This includes actual content (not just facts and definitions but key concept learnings, the ethics of the subject, the social justification/ social implication for the subject and the philosophy of the subject). This can be seen as the “what” of teaching. Content knowledge will make you an expert in the subject.

#Pedagogy : Which includes all the methods, strategies and techniques that are used to teaching. This includes various technologies, use of various resources, materials, etc. This can be seen as the “how” of teaching.<br>

Integrating Content knowledge with pedagogical knowledge will make a better teacher, than seeing the two as distinct.

===TPACK===

ICTs have significantly impacted content/ learning resource possibilities for teachers. Earlier, the main resource was the text book; with ICTs, text resources can be complemented and supplemented with image, audio, video, semantic map, simulations and various kinds of digital resources. ICTs have also impacted pedagogy, by providing many more options for teachers. Earlier, to demonstrate eclipse, we could use a candle and a ball and physically manipulate these. Now, with a desktop planetarium tool like [[Learn_Stellarium|Stellarium]], the sun, moon and earth can be shown as moving in the screen, due to which actual classroom strategies can be different. Thus digital technology has altered/ presented new ways of representing content which makes it possible for new learning strategies to be developed. <br>

Koehler], professor have done extensive work in extending PCK to the [http://TPACK.org TPACK] framework.  integrating technology into their practices can help teachers in their professional development both in terms of deepening their content knowledge as well as in terms of supporting newer classroom processes.

===Concept Map===

===TPACK discussion with teachers in Telangana===

The TPACK framework provides a perspective on how technology impacts content and pedagogy, the two main components of the teaching learning process. This framework can help us understand the integration of ICTs into teaching-learning. In recent Subject Teacher Forum workshops with Telangana maths and science teachers, this framework was discussed, and the concept maps exploring TPACK in these subjects was created, which is provided below.
