Effective and meaningful ICT professional development is key for the provision of digitally literate teachers.  However, It is clear that simply introducing technology to the educational process is not enough.

In this session we will investigate and explore the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) model as a means of delivering ICT professional development experiences to teachers. This model argues that effective teacher ICT professional development must be conducted in the contexts of technology, content and pedagogy.
