    Abstract

    ![CDATA[The paper examines High Possibility Classrooms (HPC) in a research study conducted in a middle school context in Sydney, Australia. Teachers in the study were exposed to professional development in a workshop that focused on how learning using a new model for technology integration is conceived. The HPC model arose out of qualitative research (Hunter, 2013) that found exemplary teachers conceptualized their knowledge of technology integration based on theory, creativity, public learning, life preparation and contextual accommodations. The new research reported in this paper supports validation of the HPC model as an illustration of classroom reform in mainstream teachers’ classrooms with the case study: Big leaning for the future. It details how the HPC model was used to develop one teacher’s Action Knowledge in a Social Studies unit of work.]]
