Abstract: There are many digital tools available online that can be used in classrooms. However, teachers must know how to use them as a part of learning. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework allows teachers to understand how to select a technology that supports pedagogy for enhancing content understanding. This paper explains the TPACK framework and uses digital tools as a component of TPACK to support learning. The author also shares a website with 200 tools from preschool to higher education that educators can explore and use in their classrooms. Exploring these tools creates an opportunity to recommend digital tools to educators, schools, administrators, and parents. There is no excuse for not trying digital tools in 21 century.
