"As we strive to provide students with experience in which they have control of lesson activities, we work to deepen our pedagogical content knowledge. As teachers, we need content knowledge specific to social studies and the general pedagogical knowledge used in teaching all subject areas, such as classroom management skills."

As teachers we should never stop building out pedagogical content knowledge, keeping our minds open to new ideas that come our way can help up build this knowledge and teach our students to the best of our ability. 

As teachers we need to find the best strategies that we can use in our lessons, that the students enjoy. If the students enjoy doing what they are doing they are more apt. to pay attention and retain the knowledge that you are presenting them. However we must know how to plan and assess these particular lessons that the students have such control over which may be a difficult task. With time you can build your PCK and be successful at doing this.
