Abstract
This paper highlights an approach to professional development that engages teachers in collaborative, knowledge building activities that they can then use in their classrooms. In this approach teachers experience meaningful, purposeful applications of ICT in a rich and authentic learning setting where they are the co-creators of knowledge as they explore their conceptions of learning in a digital environment.
