@brbancroft11 no PD at 7 am but IEP mtgs are before school

[Kristen E @kme511]

@barbaratreacy @brbancroft11 yes!I've worked @ schools where PD is afterschool&it's much less effective! Less faculty interaction #hgset525

[Kristen E @kme511]

@brbancroft11 I wish teachers had less classes & more time during day 2 collaborate, learn, & develop skills! (...& grade :) ) #hgset525

@kahao166 everything can be enriched w/ face-2-face time but online worked for my summer schedule! Flexibility, mobile, my hours #hgset525

@hburgiel needs 2 be relevant & applicable 2 my classroom. I also like when I've created something. Something I can take away #hgset525

I've taken some online prof dev courses through University of Laverne PDC on student motivation & I enjoyed them. Low cost too #hgset525

@hburgiel @p_vanderbilt if u search a topic they have worksheets, posters, games/activities, ways to organize your classroom #hgset525

@benjaminbielak @p_vanderbilt you have to be brave, b/c Twitter is overwhelming! Teachers need 2 be willing 2 explore new ideas #hgset525

[Kristen E @kme511]

@p_vanderbilt This might not be prof dev specifically, but I've seen Pinterest used amongst educators to share materials & ideas! #hgset525

@tomwhitby If our comfort zones take precedence over our students getting a relevant education, we are failing as...educators. #hgset525

[Kristen E @kme511]

@p_vanderbilt @SSofronas Many teachers hear about good PD through word of mouth. Admins job is to bring high quality PD to school #hgset525

Teachers today report feeling overwhelmed with the pressure to reply more frequently to parents via email. #hgset525

[Kristen E @kme511]

What are your thoughts on being connected to students and parents on social media? What about privacy? #hgset525

[Kristen E @kme511]

The internet makes sharing and collaborating so much easier. #hgset525

[Kristen E @kme511]

Increases access to other classrooms. You can collaborate with teachers in other schools. #hgset525

Connected teaching has always played a role in being a successful teacher. Only now we can connect online and across the globe. #hgset525
