TPACK Game – how to make it, where to find it
• How to make it – use index cards to write a variety of subject areas, pedagogical approaches, and technologies (I used different colours)– If you are working in a subject area, you could
become more specific and look at outcomes instead

TPACK Game - Task 1
In groups of 2 or 3 or more, have 1 person select a subject area and pedagogical approach. As a
group, brainstorm a technology that would have a good fit with the other two components. Be prepared to explain it in 15 seconds or less to another group. You have 5 minutes, see how
many you can complete.
TPACK Game - Task 2
In groups of 2 or 3 select a subject area, pedagogical approach, and a technology. Devise an activity that could be used to meet all three cards. You have 5 minutes, see how many you
can complete.
