Too Cool for School despite its awful use of repurpose (where'd that word come from) is a good article and great food for thought. It even inspired me to have a play with Viewzi which was fun but I quickly became lost adding more and more photo tags to my photo tag cloud. It was fun hooning around them though.
There are two key messages for me in this article.
Firstly, "Teaching is not a process of picking up a few instructional techniques and applying them. It emerges from thinking deeply about the nature of a discipline in conjunction with strategies for helping students learn that discipline over time." I've got a reasonable handle on the C part of my PCK and am getting good information and guidance to help me find my P part, but I'm not there yet.
Secondly, to use technology in a truly TPCK way is not possible "without a deep, complex, fluid, and flexible knowledge of the technology, the content to be covered, and an appropriate pedagogy." I'm still working on C and P and have a lot to learn about T. For now I'll move T to the backburner; C and P seem more (immediately) important.
