TPACK and Cellphilms as Educational Technology

January 30, 2019

How do the authors establish their argument that cellphilms are an educational technology?

TPACK shows the different components that go into the making of a cellphilm.

Why do the authors argue that cellphilms support teachers’ navigation of complex issues?

The authors argue that cellphilms support teachers’ navigation of complex issues, because cellphilms use the TPACK framework, which helps the teacher to his/her knowledge, technology, and teaching of socially, politically, and emotionally charged topics.

What are the various domains of TPACK?

TPACK consists of seven main components, which are the three primary domains, three hybrid domains, and the convergent TPACK domain in the center.

The three primary domains are:

• Content Knowledge (CK)
• Pedagogical Knowledge (PK)
• Technological Knowledge (TK)

The three hybrid domains are:

• Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)
• Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
• Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)

The seventh domain, TPACK combines all of the six domains above.
