you cut vegetables with it. People close to me know that I LOVE to cook. Honestly,  cooking for others makes me happy. However, when I asked Sophia, my girlfriend, to get me a cooking utensil for the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) cooking assignment, I was hoping that I would get a knife or at the very least, a vegetable peeler. Seeing her come back with a spatula, then seeing that I was going to be cutting veggies, I knew I was in for a tough time. For, while I have the knowledge of how to cut vegetables well, and I have the knowledge of how to use a spatula, I sincerely lacked the overlapping knowledge of how to cut veggies with a spatula. Similar to how Mishra and Koehler discuss how a teacher may have great content knowledge and good knowledge of how to use technology but may lack the knowledge of how to integrate said technology into their content area (Mishra & Koehler, 2006).

While filming my video “Cooking with TPACK: Al Coady”, I talk about my thoughts on how we ask students to do assignments with tools we give them without knowing either if they can use the tools or if the tools will be inaccessible to them. Now in the classroom, I will be considerate if I have asked a student to cut vegetables for me, but only gave them a spatula. A final thought I had as I was cooking is the convenience that I usually have cooking, however that is not always the case for others. While it may not be obvious, the design of cooking implements are made for able-bodied people, but are uncomfortable/unusable to disabled people, similar to how Winner discusses the politics of various technologies.
