The reason I chose this article as my resource is because it goes over a way to integrate popular technological tools into education. I was able to learn that if students want to use cell phones, iPhones or iPads in class, then there should be a way to integrate them into their educational experience. According to the article, teaching requires the transformation of of content to make it accessible to students. There is a framework called the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TRACK). This allows for combination of technical knowledge, content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge. this means that a teacher has to combine what they know about current and trending technologies with what they know about educating their students. The knowledge of both technology and teaching when combined with appropriate content create for a better educational experience for the students. The content has to do with what subject matter is explained through the use of the technological tools and teaching ability. So overall, the TRACK framework allows for teachers to better understand and implement a combination of their knowledge of teaching, technology, and content to their lecture.
