Week 3- TPACK & Science/Math tools

TPACK is important to have because it enhances the overall learning of the students.  Knowing specific content areas, various ways of teaching it, and how to use technology in teaching those areas creates an inviting and stimulating learning environment, which increases learning.

The Stellarium program is a really neat tool that allows students to see things such as phases of the moon, orbits of the planets, etc. in the classroom.  By being able to change the days and locations, the students can explore in a safe environment and get a deeper understanding of the universe we live in.
