Abstract
A culture of change is needed to deliver education that will provide learners with the appropriate knowledge and skills to effectively function as global citizens. New opportunities for learning are constantly being created through the emergence of new technologies and through new ways of using the Web. In order to prepare citizens for the 21st century, educators need to understand the shifts in the way knowledge is organised and constructed. Educators are constantly being challenged to identify the particular features and learning strategies that comprise effective contemporary learning environments. This paper will outline and examine learning strategies using information and communication technology (ICT) through the use of digi journeys as a component of a larger education department ICT project. Focus groups and interviews are used to identify characteristics of contemporary learning environments. Digi journeys, as told by classroom teachers, describe the successful use of ICT to enhance and improve student learning. They also serve to highlight the varying experiences of teachers in their journey of successful integration related to high quality contemporary learning
