This YouTube clip by Roycekimmons uploaded on 22-03-11explains the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework in a clear way.
He briefly at the end mentions the context of which TPACK could take place and I would just like to expand on this for specifically in primary schools.
As an example, rote learning still plays an important part in primary schools assisting students to learn specific knowledge such as sound letter combinations or timestables. TPACK may not neccessary be used as much in these areas. Having said that, technology can still be used to enhance the students learning or to allow students to practice thier phonics or timestables in an engaging format, such as, various computer games or aps.
I agree Jess, technology can be used to enhance the students learning and it allows the learning to become more engaging for some students.
