This is a good reminder what TPACK is and how to integrate it into. It is a good article to show me what TPACK is and how TPACK works cohesively together.

When using TPACK we want to make sure to almost use it backwards. In that sense making sure we find our content first. Then we use the content to have pedagogy. To wrap it all up we need to use technology to support our content and pedagogy.

2. The Zoo

There are so many amazing online options when it comes to zoos that we couldn't narrow it down to just one. Most zoos have live webcams in some of their most popular exhibits, such as the KC Zoo Polar Bear Cam and the Giant Panda Cam at Smithsonian's National Zoo. However, some zoos offer a more in-depth look. You'll definitely want to check out the San Diego Zoo as their site for kids includes behind-the-scenes videos and stories, as well as a variety of printable activities and online games. Check out our full list of virtual zoo goodness.

In my 4th-grade classroom, students will start by watching an opening video to our water cycle unit. Students will watch a short video on the water cycle, which it talks about the stages of the water cycle and what happens at each stage. Students will then watch the video and, at each stage, write a short sentence summary of what happens at that stage. Students can complete this at their own pace and rewatch as many times are needed til they understand the correct definition of that stage.
