TPCK and Fair Use

What I understood about TPCK is that, it is a way of including technology use in the way teachers teach. It is combining this along with what teachers know already. In a way I think it is a complement to what teachers do already. TPCK combines three types of knowledge: pedagogy, content, and technology knowledge. By combining these three types of knowledge, the degree in which teacher can teach is much more complete and balanced. This in return will benefit the students we teach more because they are getting a more complete educational experience. About fair use for teachers, it is ok to use work of others as along as it is for educational purposes and as long as is not profitable. The work as a whole cannot be copied, only parts of it; give credit to the author of the work. One of the links in my blog directs you to a webpage where children can learn about copyright as well.
