This document discusses professional learning (PL) around using iPads and mobile devices in the classroom to develop 21st century skills in students. It emphasizes that the focus should be on learning outcomes rather than the technology itself. Teachers are encouraged to engage in self-directed PL through trial and error, reflection, and collaboration with others. The document provides an e-learning planning framework to help teachers integrate iPads into teaching and learning over time, starting with small, personal uses and building up to more advanced classroom applications.

that children require to live, learn and work in
the 21st Century.
