This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from May 2018, opens in Adobe Connect. Interested in learning what you need, when you need it, and in a format that works for you? As teachers, we know that the standard Professional Development (PD) offered at our schools doesn't always meet our learning needs or learning style. It may be too general, focused on a school initiative, or simply focused on a productivity tool - like the gradebook. Additionally, the timing of the standard PD may not be optimal. Explore three online resources that will meet your personal learning needs and help you improve your craft as a teacher. Join this session and you'll never want for good PD again! Participants will: 1. Distinguish between three types of online Professional Learning tools; 2. Explore three online tools for building your PLN; and 3. Identify keywords and/or educators to incorporate into the use of each tool. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
