Quick Tip \u2013 Interactive Google Slides<\/h3>\n

The key to making Google Slides interactive and more than a presentation tool is internal linking–linking objects and words to different slides, not just outside links. This one little tip can change how you view the tool and use Slides with students.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a short video learn how!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A Framework for Blended PD<\/b><\/h1>\n

In this podcast series, I will share ideas for planning, scheduling, strategies, modeling, facilitating, and everything else that I can think of to help schools make the most of the situation. This is our chance to revolutionize professional development, which needs a shakeup!<\/p>\n

Did you miss Part 1 and 2?<\/strong>\u00a0Be sure to listen to\u00a0Part 1 (e71)<\/a> and Part 2 (e72)<\/a>. The entire series is accessible on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve covered a lot of ground in Part 1 and Part 2–needs assessment, planning, creative scheduling, and adult learning strategies.<\/p>\n

In part 3, I share activities for engaging adult learners in blended PD, facilitation tips, and some sample schedules to pull it all together.<\/p>\n

Designing Meaningful PD Activities for Teachers<\/h2>\n

Evidence of Learning<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t forget your goals! Begin with the end in mind and create an assessment that aligns with your learning goals first.<\/p>\n

This assessment can be informal, formal, or even observational. How will you know when they get it? Decide how you will collect evidence of learning. Participants should be required to create or develop something as evidence of learning, no more seat time certificates.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t have to be complicated. The evidence may be observed through online discussions, submitting a reflection in Google Classroom, or creating an activity for students.<\/p>\n

In this guest blog post, Pam Hubler shared a great idea for using Google Challenges<\/a> as an activity and way to gather evidence of learning from participants. She even shared her template so you can modify these to fit the needs of your teachers and align with your learning goals.<\/p>\n

Aim for Dynamic PD<\/h3>\n

Get rid of static PD activities! As you think about designing your learning experience and gathering evidence of learning, I want you to think about moving away from static, one-and-done activities, and transition to more Dynamic Learning<\/a>, or dynamic PD.<\/p>\n

Sit and get PD has to go! Whether you are face-to-face or staring at a screen, we should aim for more active learning experiences in professional development.
