Give an example of a lesson plan that incorporates TPACK.

• Lesson Plan: Basic Math - Objective: Students will learn addition using paper and pencil.

• Lesson Plan: Ecosystems and Food Chains - Objective: Students will understand the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem. Activities: 1. Introduction to ecosystems (Content). 2. Group discussion on food chains (Pedagogy). 3. Use a digital simulation to visualize food chains (Technology). 4. Students create their own food chain diagrams.

• Lesson Plan: History of Art - Objective: Students will analyze famous paintings without any technology.

• Lesson Plan: Solar System - Objective: Students will memorize the planets in order.

What are some challenges teachers face when implementing TPACK?
