22. 10 December 2009Zoraini Wati Abas22Toward a New Learning Ecology: Teaching and Learning in 1:1 EnvironmentsAs a result of these conditions, we have proposed five strategies for consideration to be included in 1:1 teacher professional development. These strategies are: Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK);Project-based inquiry;A global skill set;Performance-based assessment; andProfessional learning communities and networks.http://www.fi.ncsu.edu/podcast/white-paper-series/2009/04/22/toward-a-new-learning-ecology/
