Pedagogical knowledge is knowledge about the process and practice or teaching-learning method.

Content knowledge is knowledge of the subjects to be studied. 

The integration of pedagogical knowledge (P), content knowledge (K), and technological knowledge (T) create Pedagogical Content Technology (KPT) knowledge.

 This knowledge: 

1. Is the basis of learning using technology.

2. Provides an understanding for displaying concepts using technology.

3. Provides an understanding of how technology involves constructive pedagogical ways to teach content.

The Internet is a combination of connected computer networks (LANs) around the world. On the other hand, the internet is also a global source of information that utilizes a collection of computer networks as a medium. The use of the internet for learning purposes which is increasingly widespread, especially in developed countries, is a fact that shows that with this medium it is possible to hold a more effective learning process. 

the internet can actually be used in school learning because it has unique characteristics,:

As an interpersonal medium as well as a mass media that enables one-to-one and one-to-many communication;

Has an interactive nature;

Allows for synchronous (real-time) or delayed asynchronous communication to enable the implementation of communication which is a prerequisite for the occurrence of a learning process;
