TPACK and SAMR Models

 The TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) Model refers to the ways in which an educator can integrate technology into their classes. Its subbranches are:

1. "Technological Knowledge" or "TK", refers to the educator's being knowledgeable of how they can use technology and what tools they can use in their classes.
2. "Pedagogical Knowledge" or "PK" refers to the educator's knowledge of different teaching methods, strategies, and classroom management techniques
3.  "Content Knowledge" or "CK" is about the teacher's knowledge of the subject they are going to teach.
4. "Technological Content Knowledge" or "TCK" describes teachers’ understanding of how technology and content can both influence and push against each other.
5.  “Pedagogical Content Knowledge” or “PCK” refers to the teachers’ knowledge of the essential areas of teaching and learning, including curriculum development, student assessment, and reporting results.
6.  “Technological Pedagogical Knowledge” or “TPK” refers to the teachers’ understanding of how certain technologies can change both the teaching and learning experiences by introducing new pedagogical convenience and limitations

  And SAMR Model is a model categorizing and depicting to what extent technology is integrated into educational practices. To make the categories clear I added an infographic that explains the categories of SAMR which can be seen below:
