The-Professional-Development-Committee

BACK TO THE COMMITTEE PAGE To add to this page, just click the EDIT tab above - we really wish you would! Although “The Think Tank” will help inform our professional development, we also want to hear from individual employees so that we can meet the needs at every level. I have started a list of possible Pro D topics and hope to see this list grow substantially as people add to this ‘wish’ list. Please consider a variety of Professional Development formats, longer sessions (1/2 day, full day), shorter sessions (after school), face-to-face, V-Class etc. To review Kelly’s instructions, please remember the following: 1. to add to this page, just click the EDIT tab above 2. add your name when and where appropriate so that queries can be directed correctly 3. click SAVE when finished · how to use a specific technology or program e.g. SMART Board, LEGO Robotics, Pivot, Voicethread, student log-in & teacher access · how to use a website to organize your teaching or to work collaboratively as a group (ie departments) · 10 reasons (and examples) why you may want to use technology with your students · ‘trouble shooting’, an essential list of items to check before calling the district technicians Please add away and assume anything is possible :) Thank you for helping to ensure that decision-making is a collaborative process.
