     TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, it's a technology integration framework that consist three domains of knowledge; Technological knowledge, Pedagogical knowledge and Content knowledge. This framework was introduced by Punya Mishara and Matthew J. Koehler of Michigan State University in 2006, it was develop to explain the set of knowledge that teachers need to teach their students a subject, teach effectively, and use technology. It's a combination approach of; what teachers know, how they teach and how technology used for the better impact of students learning.
       
          Punya Mishara and Matthew J. Koehler  got their  initial idea based on Shulman's work (1986) " Those Who Understand: Knowledge Growth in Teaching".  Shulman discussed the idea of knowledge in teaching which is that teachers have a set of content knowledge – specific knowledge about the subject they are teaching  and a set of pedagogical knowledge – knowledge about how to teach including specific teaching methods. 
    
         According from the other article  which  owned by Serhat Kurt  proposed on May 12, 2018 that Content Knowledge (CK)  describes teachers’ own knowledge of the subject matter. CK may include knowledge of concepts, theories, evidence, and organizational frameworks within a particular subject matter; it may also include the field’s best practices and established approaches to communicating this information to students.
      
        Pedagogical Knowledge (PK)  describes teachers’ knowledge of the practices, processes, and methods regarding teaching and learning. As a generic form of knowledge, PK encompasses the purposes, values, and aims of education, and may apply to more specific areas including the understanding of student learning styles, classroom management skills, lesson planning, and assessments.
     
     Technological Knowledge (TK)  describes teachers’ knowledge of, and ability to use, various technologies, technological tools, and associated resources. TK concerns understanding edtech, considering its possibilities for a specific subject area or classroom, learning to recognize when it will assist or impede learning, and continually learning and adapting to new technology offerings. Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) describes teachers’ knowledge regarding foundational areas of teaching and learning, including curricula development, student assessment, and reporting results. PCK focuses on promoting learning and on tracing the links among pedagogy and its supportive practices (curriculum, assessment, etc.), and much like CK, will also differ according to grade level and subject matter. In all cases, though, PCK seeks to improve teaching practices by creating stronger connections between the content and the pedagogy used to communicate it.
      
     Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)  describes teachers’ understanding of how technology and content can both influence and push against each other. TCK involves understanding how the subject matter can be communicated via different edtech offerings, and considering which specific edtech tools might be best suited for specific subject matters or classrooms. Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) describes teachers’ understanding of how particular technologies can change both the teaching and learning experiences by introducing new pedagogical affordances and constraints. Another aspect of TPK concerns understanding how such tools can be deployed alongside pedagogy in ways that are appropriate to the discipline and the development of the lesson at hand.
     
        In conclusion, TPACK will help remember to with  content, pedagogy and in technology. As a soon to be 21st  century educator, TPACK reminds us that technology is part of a great teaching because based on Kurt's article that TPACK framework is useful for the ways in which it explicates the types of knowledge most needed in order to make technology integration successful in the classroom.
