One-and-done events might get everyone pumped up and excited, but what comes next? Like change, learning is a process, not an event. The ability to stop and restart compensates for many of the challenges educators face when it comes to making the time to learn. The same can be said about drive-by professional development.

As change is a process, not an event, discussions, feedback, and reflection can and should take time in order to make the best decision possible. The uniqueness of your position and professional beliefs will result in priorities that differ from your face-to-face colleagues and those in your Personal Learning Network (PLN).

Since 2009 I have been a huge believer and advocate for connected learning and the formation of Personal Learning Networks (PLN’s). Now don't get me wrong, I still highly value face-to-face experiences, as there are some natural limits to learning exclusively in a social media vacuum.

Social media: platforms like Twitter help teachers build their personal learning network and share teaching tips and tricks. Students learn from the other teachers as well as from each other. Committing to a one time event won’t accomplish this. Some of them prefer to seek classroom collaborations directly.
