Below is a pretty good representation of each kind of teacher knowledge there is for the classroom. It also shows you combinations of the kinds of knowledge there are, and their limitations together. It is based off of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A new framework for teacher knowledge.

My own interpretation:

• Technological Knowledge – having clear knowledge on how to use technologies such as computers, softwares, and electronic equipment in the classroom, and how to help others use these technologies for their educational gain. EX: keeping up with technology itself and being able to guide students in using that new technology
• Pedagogical Knowledge – having clear knowledge in how to teach basically, which involves techniques in the passing of knowledge, appropriate feedback, grading, and teacher-student communication. EX: using a method such as asking open-ended questions to stimulate inquiry and discussion from students, (going further: doing the former in a way that doesn’t lead to student disengagement) 
• Content Knowledge – having clear knowledge in a particular area of study or topic EX: getting a doctoral degree in chemistry 

Vignette 4: I’m having a lesson for my students to learn the concept of motives in music. What I’ll do is create a well developed Power Point. The slides themselves will be set up to be relative and flow idealistically to one another. My use of audio and visuals will make it more interesting and imbedding for the students. All of the information in the presentation will contain clear ideas, and if there is confusion I’ll of course be there to answer and questions for students. The way I will illustrate the idea of motives will be through asking questions and guiding thought to help students develop and understanding of motives instead of me just giving them the information. With all of these techniques put together, I see a well rounded lesson for my students.
