I am reading about the work of Mishra and Koehler (2007) in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge and wondering about the implications for adult learning. I am only beginning my study of this topic but find it to be a very beneficial foundation upon which to build a solid adult learning program.

It makes sense that if technology is the focus then you might force pedagogy and content to conform to the technology.  If you only consider pedagogy then you will miss opportunities technology might afford. If your focus is content, then you might choose the wrong approach and the wrong technology for that approach thus frustrating the learner. For any technology integration to be sucessful, you must consider all three areas.

Again, this is the beginning of my journey and I will blog more as my framework develops. There are a lot of implications for education to explore here!
