On one day in August before the students came, and again in January of this year we set up Edcamp style PD days. While our PD days weren't like the traditional Edcamp style (we actually came up with the choices instead of the teachers making the choices), the teachers found the days to be useful.

As educators continue to face much uncertainty, we also have to get extra creative with virtual PD.

With only an hour to discuss such an important issue in education, it felt as though a lot was left unsaid.

Often, especially in technology professional development those that do the training try to cram in every little thing into a session.

One of the worst experiences is listening to a non-educator telling a teacher what they should and should not do in their classroom. If you are going to train teachers, you should have experience with instruction. There is nothing worse than receiving training on a tool that you don’t have access to, or will never get to use.
