1. TPACK
1.1. Technologocal Pedagogical Content Knowledge
1.2. 3 primary forms of knowledge
1.2.1. Technological Knowledge
1.2.1.1. Knowledge of the different technology tools that can be integrated into teaching. Teachers must understand which tools are easy enough for students to use, and which tools will further students' learning more than distract them.
1.2.2. Pedagogical Knowledge
1.2.2.1. Knowledge about how to teach. The teacher must know whether the tasks are suited to the learner.

1.3. TPACK helps teaching integrate technology into the classroom.
1.4. Technology, pedagogy, and content are all important. Teachers must collaborate this 3 areas of knowledge.
1.5. This link leads to articles and diagrams demonstrating the interconnectedness of TPACK.
2. SAMR
2.1. How teachers use technology in the classroom
2.2. There are four levels in this model: Substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition.
2.3. Outlines how effective it is to integrate different forms of technology in different tasks. Sometimes technology can be more useful than others.
2.4. Integrates the four levels of TPACK.
2.5. The goal is to bring students from technology enhancement to technology transformation.
2.5.1. Enhancement
2.5.1.1. Substitution: Using technology to perform a task that could be down without technology as well. There is no functional change, technology is just substituting something else.
2.5.1.2. Augmentation: Using technology to complete a task that can be done without technology. In this case, the technology is improving the function of the task. Students can receive immediate feedback, paper is saved, etc.
2.5.2. Transformation
2.5.2.1. Modification: Using technology allows the task to be completely redesigned. Technology is necessary for these tasks to be completed in this way.
2.5.2.2. Redefinition: Using technology allows students to partake in activities that were never possible before. These tasks would not exist without technology! Increasingly student generated.
