TPACK

Yeah, for knowledge! So I feel like this whole TPACK idea could be better represented as a smore. You have the graham cracker of pedagogical knowledge which keeps everything together--keeps your kiddos from getting all over everywhere. Then there's your content knowledge--that's the marshmallow. It's what gives your smore its substance. You need substance in a classroom so your kids aren't just playing around all day. Similarly, you need a marshmallow, well, because that's what defines a smore more than anything. Of course, one of the best parts is the chocolate:) That's our technological knowledge. Sure, you could have a smore without it, but WHO would ever want to? Chocolate improves a smore just as technology improves learning in the classroom. All together, you've got a masterpiece. Really. Smores are my favorite!!! And so is balanced teaching!!!
