This research investigates the role of collaborative learning in enhancing the technological skills of physics teachers. Using the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework, a year-long training program integrated mobile applications into physics education, aiming to boost teachers’ technology proficiency and foster team-based teaching methods. Teachers engaged in structured sessions with hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and regular feedback, enabling them to effectively incorporate technology into their lessons. The findings highlight significant advancements in teachers’ confidence and competence with mobile apps, creating engaging and impactful learning experiences for students. Moreover, the collaborative nature of the program fostered a professional community among teachers, encouraging ongoing improvement and mutual support. This study underscores the transformative power of integrating technology into physics education when paired with proper resources and collaborative efforts, demonstrating its potential to elevate teaching practices and enhance student learning outcomes. With proper support and resources, teachers can use technology to improve their teaching.
