Writing allows us to record, deepen, clarify, and revise our thinking.
We teach students:
 * How to develop habits of mind to think through problems/content in the discipline.
 * How to organize and use knowledge of the discipline in writing.
 * The writing conventions and structures of various writing genres of the discipline.
 * The vocabulary of the discipline.

**Collaborative writing further complicates TPACK - must consider w riting pedagogy’s intersection with technological and content knowledge. **

 * **Content Knowledge -** expertise in your academic discipline, including the conventions of writing in the discipline
 * ** Pedagogical Content Knowledge ** - methods and strategies for teaching content in your subject area, as well as its writing genres and conventions
 * **Technological Content Knowledge** - knowledge of digital tools to teach writing in your subject area and how to best use them for student learning
