Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

There's not always time for pull-out PD, so posting Learning in the Loo is a way to get micro-PD to teachers. It has proven to be well-received and very effective with teachers!

Learning in the Loo topics are almost always based on questions from individual teachers, and then developed into a graphically-pleasing simple poster that shares information about an edtech tool, strategy, shortcut, resource, etc.

Attendees will be given a link to the blog that explains how Learning in the Loo got started, a link to a crowdsourced Padlet of ready-to-go ideas (to which they can also contribute), and the Twitter hashtag #LearningInTheLoo so they can find related posts.
