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First, the outdated tpck.org has been replaced by the more up-to-date and more appropriate TPACK.org.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].

I just read of the sad demise of Nalini Ambady, social psychologist at Stanford. Her research on the accuracy of first impressions connected with me (from the moment I first glimpsed it). As the NYTimes reports (Nalini Ambady, Psychologist of Intuition, Is Dead at 54)...
Mike DeSchryver and I recently presented a paper at AERA titled "Googling creativity: An investigation into how pre-service mathematics teachers use the Web to generate creative ways to teach." The abstract is as follows: This study examined teacher creativity and its...
