“As a teacher educator researcher from 1980s to today, I have consistently described teachers’ knowledge for teaching their content with technologies as a transformed knowledge: a distinct whole, created through blending the multiple subsets created by the intersection of content, pedagogy and technology, such that they are rearranged, merged, organized, integrated and assimilated so none are any longer individually discernible. Initially, the TPACK Venn diagram focused researchers more toward the diagram’s components. After 2016, the research paid more attention to understanding the transformed vision of TPACK. I look forward to reading how the strong editorial team reveals new approaches for investigating teachers’ knowledge transformation, specifically how Artificial Intelligence and Contextual Knowledge are merged in this vision and described in the Handbook of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for Educators, Third Edition, through its four sections TPACK Research and Approaches, TPACK Theory and Framework, TPACK in Practice and TPACK in Context.”

—Maggie Niess, Professor Emeritus of Science and Mathematics Education in the Department of Science and Mathematics Education at Oregon State University, USA

“If you are new to TPACK, an experienced methodological researcher of TPACK, or seeking the relationship of TPACK to the post pandemic era and emergence of artificial intelligence, this book will provide insightful explorations of new ways for thinking. As we enter a different phase in education systems around the world, we need ways of reasoning about technological advancement that draw on well-developed theoretical frameworks. This book presents such a miscellanea of TPACK methods, concepts and applications that elucidate critical, and clear pathways forward at a time that is uncertain.”
