  1. Using Community Groups for Professional Development

  2. Facilitate, motivate and design…

  3. Facilitate… • Keep the group focused • Stay on pace during session • Guide activity or project-based learning

  4. Motivate… • Offer a variety of participation opportunities • Provide extended materials for independent learning • Allow faculty to review or make-up the session as needed

  5. Design… • Model good lesson structure • Model a variety of TOPIC elements • Include formative assessments • Exit ticket: quick and easy

  6. Get started… • Make a community group for PD – smart group for faculty only (then create a section) • Use Bulletin Board for general goodies • Organize PD by Topics

  7. Add a group and then a section OnCampus – Procedure – Community: Add a Group, make it a SMART GROUP for teachers only Community Group Pages: create a section Then you’ll see it under your Groups where you can add content

  8. Now add general content to the Bulletin Board I included links to NETS, technology tools on the web like Prezi, TedEd, CitationMachine, Rubistar, etc. RSS feed from a good ed blog here… Downloads for lesson plan outlines, tips, news follow-up on PD sessions

  9. Topics for PD

  10. Layout and Content • Use layout and content to model good lesson plan structure. Provide a graphic template • Make your Topics showcase a variety of embedded web tools. • TEST embedded content thoroughly! Set video width to 100%, add “s” to http:// so things display in a secure environment. • Include review and supplemental materials for teacher who need to repeat or who missed the PD. OR who want MORE on the topic. • Be consistent so teachers understand the value of consistent layout.

  11. Sample Topic Content based on “Understanding By Design”

  12. Have FUN with it! • Take your time, develop them as needed. Refine ongoing. • I also have a blog of my tech tidbits that I link to from Topics • Create Topics from past sessions or for new teachers • Use for all kinds of PD, not just tech. Move away from isolating technology from good teaching practices. • You can post-date or pre-date Topics so only you see them during development. • You can add group OWNERS if you want others to contribute and work on the Topic with you.
