Other presentations in this group:
The purpose of this presentation is to give teachers, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, and others tips and tricks on how to create, present, and manage professional learning within their school. Many of these tips will also apply to teachers and students. My objectives for this presentation are:
-Give tips and tricks on best practices for professional learning opportunities
-Share some apps I have used and others I think could work
-Provide templates and examples that can be adapted to align with multiple content areas
-Reinforce choice and voice for learners but encourage using higher level and critical thinking activities
By using choice and voice and at-your-own-pace activities, teachers can complete learning activities when it’s appropriate for them. This tackles one of the challenges that we face, which is lack of time. These activities can be then modeled for students in their own classrooms. Some of the technology we are looking at include Edpuzzle (free/cost), NearPod (free/cost), and Google Apps (Docs, Slides, Drawings, & Sites). Using these tools we can create videos with questions curated by the instructor, choice boards, digital badging, and more! Currently, I have over 75 people who are in my EdPuzzle class. They have completed almost 8 hours of short video training. I worked with our administrators to allow people to get CTE credits for completing these courses. Using a tool that teachers are familiar with and use themselves, creates an easy way for people to learn at their own pace.
