A couple of TPACK related updates.
First, the outdated tpck.org has been replaced by the more up-to-date and more appropriate TPACK.org. [The tpck.org site hasn’t really gone away, but we plan to phase it out over time].

Third, just in case you missed it, the first TPACK newsletter is now available here.
