ABSTRACT
Functional and effective learning activity designs and implementation strategies for teachers use must build upon such educational improvisation, so that students needs, preferences, and reactions can be accommodated. Technology involves the tools with which we deliver content and implement practices in better ways. Its focus must be on curriculum and learning. Integration is defined not by the amount or type of technology used, but by how and why it is used. technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK)-related professional development for experienced teachers should promote both autonomous and collaborative instructional decision-making while simultaneously encouraging open-minded consideration of new instructional methods, tools and resources. The development of pedagogical approaches, like the development of jazz traditions, is an additive, recursive, and expansive process, rather than a linear series of replacements of "old" with "new". Experienced teachers learning to develop and apply TPCK is an essential aspect of that expansion.
