What is “Deep Play”?
By deep-play we mean an engagement with rich problems of pedagogy, technology and content and their inter-relationships. Deep-play is creative, seeking to construct new ways of seeing the world, and new approaches to using technology, in order to develop creative pedagogical solutions.

PD and Newsletter
This 2-hour professional development session and newsletter were created to introduce 20-30 participants to project-based learning, and provide them the knowledge, tools, and resources to try a project in their classroom. These materials were created by the deep play group, with my contributions in the outline.
