vocabulary– which teachers must master to be effective. Teachers should have a deep

impossible to meet the standards of the instruction. So, teachers need to assimilate the
content of the instruction or the subject in order to transfer knowledge to the students
effectively and in a meaningful way.

Technological content knowledge (TCK), refers to teachers' understanding of how using a
specific technology can change the way learners understand and practice concepts in a
specific content area.
Teachers need to understand which specific technologies are best suited for addressing
subject-matter learning in their domains and how the content dictates or perhaps even
changes the technology.
Application of technology in the content can help deepen the understanding of the students
and facilitate an easier and more productive learning experience.
