| | Lessons from TVOntario New Perspectives on Professional Development |
 | | Since its beginnings as the Ontario Educational Communications Authority (the CRTC still grants the license to this authority) in a small office within the Ministry of Education, TVOntario has been involved with teacher professional development, curriculum programming for teacher use with students, and technology (TV, video, CD-ROM, to name a few) for educational purposes. |
 | | The two branches of TVOntario - TVO: English programming Services and TFO: French Programming Services - have been delivering teacher-training services in a variety of ways over the past 27 years, from workshops, courses, and conferences to the more recent delivery of teleconferences and Internet use. |
 | | Whatever the combination, the technology is the tool; the learners themselves are the centre of the professional development learning cycle. |
