A8: Find ways to build in the time with activities teachers must and are required to do that might be unrelated to the PL experience. If you have a collaborative meeting schedule, use that time to coach. #ITEC9400G6
A8: Time is always a big factor in education. Time to discuss and collaborate with others and to learn what matters to grow in our profession. #ITEC9400G6
A7: Relationships are critical in many areas of our lives, both professionally and personally. People are more likely to want to learn from someone they respect or like than someone they don't. #ITEC9400G6
A4: I usually deliver the PL for tech-related tools or strategies. There are only a few others. However, my school has a PL choice set up. Teachers are not required or don't desire to attend the tech-related sessions. #ITEC9400G6
A5: The learning activities must be aligned and relevant to what the teacher is currently dealing with. Provide learning that can be immediately implemented in their lessons and classroom. #ITEC9400G6
@MrsLoganTTIS Correct. It is not a priority. Then when things are required, people then scrabble to try to understand the technology. Proactive is key!
A3: Sometimes, we are unaware of what we are doing as teachers until someone explains and names it. They probably didn't know how to align their actions to the survey's descriptions. #ITEC9400G6
A2: It depends on the circumstances. Mostly, I am an independent learner. But there are times when I need formal or informal instruction in any way I can get it if the technology is entirely new. #ITEC9400G6
