TPACK for MATE 4001

Integrating technology is not about technology – it is primarily about content and effective instructional practices. Technology involves the tools with which we deliver content and implement practices in better ways. Its focus must be on curriculum and learning. Integration is defined not by theamount or type of technology used, but by how and why it is used. (p. 8)
