RSSEducation Dreamer: Flipping Professional Development
What if those of us who work in the area of professional development begin to flip our PD sessions? What if, instead of listening to those sessions live, I could have had access to those sessions ahead of time, listened to them (at least once), digest the information, and then brought questions with me to the meeting? Then the two people who presented the sessions could have still video conferenced in with us, and we could have have had a better conversation. I just kept thinking to myself, “Here we are, some of the best educators in my district in the same room, and we’re looking at computer screens.” The next day we applied what we had learned in some very meaningful activities.
