While teaching a 5th grade unit on narrative writing, I used my content knowledge to help students understand story elements like plot and character development. I applied pedagogical strategies such as peer editing and guided writing workshops. To integrate technology, students used Google Docs to draft and revise their stories, enabling real-time feedback and collaboration. This combination supported student learning through clear instruction, engaging activities, and meaningful tech integration—demonstrating a well-rounded use of TPACK.

I taught a lesson on electricity, I used my content knowledge to explain how to build a simple circuit, while my pedagogical knowledge guided me to use group discussions and hands-on activities to support my students, and especially help my ELLs. I brought in technology by using an interactive app, pHet, where students built virtual circuits, , letting them see the effects of removing or adding species. This tech beefed up the content by visualizing complex relationships, and supported my pedagogy by promoting inquiry-based learning. Using the TPACK model, students were engaged, curious, and able to apply what they learned in creative ways.

While teaching a unit on early American history, I used my content knowledge to explain key events like the American Revolution and the formation of government. I incorporated pedagogical strategies like timelines, debates, and role-playing activities to make history come alive. To enhance learning with technology, students used an interactive map tool to explore historical battle sites and create digital presentations on key figures. This integration helped students connect with the material visually and creatively, bringing all elements of TPACK together in a way that deepened their understanding and engagement.

I did a lesson on fractions, I drew on my content knowledge to explain equivalent fractions and how to add them. My pedagogical knowledge helped me plan hands-on activities using fraction tiles and small group instruction for differentiated learning. I used technology like virtual manipulatives and interactive games on platforms like IXL to reinforce concepts. The tech made abstract math more visual and interactive, enhancing my teaching approach and helping students build deeper understanding—showcasing effective use of TPACK.
