Integrating Technology and Pedagogy in the Classroom

Among the many challenges that teachers encounters in working with TPACK, is the integration of technology and pedagogy. This component of TPACK appears to be difficult to identify when assessing a teachers' integration of technology, content and pedagogy. In a recent investigation of TPACK competencies among pre-service teachers in Tanzania, it was found that, majority of them could integrate pedagogy and content (ask students to make groups and discuss a given concept of a content), technology and content (use PowerPoint to present a given concept of a content) but not were not able to show the integration of technology and pedagogy as they were teaching.
I guess it is difficult to integrate these two aspects (technology and pedagogy) when a teachers has short time also has limited supply of technological tools. I am still speculating this, maybe I will come up with good explanations after some more investigations.
