Key points
- TPACK is a framework for teacher knowledge crucial for effective technology integration.
- It builds upon Shulman's concept of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) by adding technology knowledge.
- TPACK is conceptualized as the complex interaction among three knowledge domains: content, pedagogy, and technology.
- Successful integration of technology into teaching requires the flexible knowledge produced by the interaction of these domains.

Abstract
This paper describes a teacher knowledge framework for technology integration called technological pedagogical content knowledge (originally TPCK, now known as TPACK, or technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge). This framework builds on Lee Shulman's (1986, 1987) construct of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) to include technology knowledge. The development of TPACK by teachers is critical to effective teaching with technology. The paper begins with a brief introduction to the complex, ill-structured nature of teaching. The nature of technologies (both analog and digital) is considered, as well as how the inclusion of technology in pedagogy further complicates teaching. The TPACK framework for teacher knowledge is described in detail as a complex interaction among three bodies of knowledge: content, pedagogy, and technology. The interaction of these bodies of knowledge, both theoretically and in practice, produces the types of flexible knowledge needed to successfully integrate technology use into teaching.
