TPACK and Storyboard

TPACK is basically the different types of knowledge that can be combined in different ways in order to accomplishes different tasks and objectives, depending on what one wants the end result to be. This concept is important for teachers to recognize and know because it will effect how they both teach and gain more knowledge. Teachers constantly need to keep up to date with information, especially when regarding technology since it is forever changing and evolving. Technology gives us easy access to more and more information, but in order to gain and retain this information, one has to know how to use the technology to find it. It is also helpful for educators to understand how to use technology to teach, because of the growing number of accessible technology for children. These children in this age will respond more favorably towards lessons that deal with technology. It also allows parents to access the course and makes it easier to get involved. When parents are involved with their child's education, than the child will more likely succeed academically. For the storyboard, we are doing a healthy lifestyle. We have pictures of different, stretches, weight lifts, cardio, and activities one can do to develop, maintain, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. We then explain how to do it and why each of these different exercise routines is important. This is helpful for teaching students, because it is a visual combined with music and audio for children to more fully interact with. You're not just telling them about having an active lifestyle, your showing them. It is also a different way to do things and adds variety. Students will be more engaged and interested in this type of education. Since is shows visual, they will see first hand how such activities should look and can easily mimic them.
