Roundtable Purpose:

The purpose of this roundtable is to consider the role that Professional Learning plays in our lives as teachers and leaders. It is also to explore how we can make PD an expected and welcome part of every day.

Roundtable Audience:

1. Teachers and Leaders who are interested in innovating within current PD structures in order to make sure that all adult learners are making choices for their own development.

2. Teachers and Leaders who are interested in devising new PD structures for schools and districts in order to better support shifts in practice.

3. Stakeholders out of the classroom and schools who are actively devising new PD structures like #2minPD to help support teachers and leaders in the field. 

I just wanted to let you know that I will be inviting each of you to the hangout this afternoon about 30 minutes…

An Invitation to #2minPD

I would like to invite each of you to contribute to the project known as #2minPD. Before I give you the details, I wanted to share my first contribution to the project:

This fabulous project was started by Melissa Pelochino of the Stanford d.School. You can read more about how the movement has grown over here.

Here is the gist, though:

The concept is called #2minPD (two minute professional development).

 

#2minPD is a video series of 2-minute professional development videos created by educators, for educators. They capture exciting teaching strategies, classroom activities or teaching concepts worth sharing. Selected videos are pushed out to mobile phones each day to teachers who subscribe to receive them.

 

The goal is to reach 1 million educators with a series of 30 videos (1 per day for a month) in the fall and I am in the process of reaching out to ROCK STAR educators to create them.

 

And that is where YOU come in!  I would love to have you as part of this series!  If you could share a teaching strategy with 1 million teachers, what would it be?  Simply open your iphone and take a selfie, upload it  to Youtube or Twitter and send me a link.  It’s that simple!

 

This short document will provide you with more specifics on how to get started as well as some details on the format. 

 

Here are a few examples of 2minPD videos you can check out for some inspiration:

    • Here is one from Melissa
    • Here is one from Cameron in Australia
    • Here is one from Lisa in the Midwest

 

So, contribute to the conversation and let’s keep growing this movement.

Blended Learning #2minPD

This is a #2minPD on Blended Learning. Find out more about this project here: http://bit.ly/2minhowto

In this video I explore a highly simplified definition of Blended Learning, and some concrete next steps for getting started. This #2minPD is not meant to be an exhaustive resource on Blended Learning, but rather an entry point to thinking about what is possible by implementing blended learning within your classroom or school.

For additional resources on Blended Learning, I recommend this community of practice: https://plus.google.com/communities/107967272688267855930
