Abstract

Inservice teachers need professional development that will provide them with the skills necessary to implement information and communication technology into classroom activities. One school shares its story of how the staff worked in professional learning communities to integrate technology meaningfully into the curriculum. The PD TICKET program provided teachers an opportunity for professional development for technology integration into the curriculum through participation in telecollaborative projects and curriculum innovation. Through involving both the teachers and students in telecollaborative projects, teachers were given the skills required to move past technology tool training to meaningful technology integration into the curriculum.
