Hey Mr. B! I was looking through the curriculum and we are getting close to the animal research project! How have you taught that in the past?
Oh, I do the same thing every year. I introduce the project by reading a paper from last year, then I take students to the library and have them grab a few books on an animal they've heard of, give them a graphic organizer, and have them write the paper while I talk about the writing process.

What!? You don't use technology during the process?
No, that's too complicated. Plue, they'll learn more in books and by listening to me.
You definitely have a lot of knowledge about writing research reports, but I'd like to help you with some other areas like technology and pedogogy!
I'm willing to learn if it helps my students!

There are so many opportunities to use student choice within and technology within this project! We can use all of the TPACK components!
What's TPACK?
TPACK is a framework that shows how content knowledge, methods of teaching and learning, and technology are all intertwined! Those are the 3 key focuses and they overlap in important ways!
