 * What would a district P.D. plan need to address to support 21st century teaching and learning?
 * define 21st century learning and teaching - from top to bottom. We need an entire puzzle
 * use 21st century delivery methods
 * video examples of 21st century learning - what about 15 minute segments
 * incentives
 * walk through rubric needs to be updated to reflect 21st century vision looks like for teacher evaluation
 * permissions to utilize customization aspects of technology (right click)
 * re-brand all of PD - make it sexy
 * personalize it
 * Interactivity
 * Allow for differentiation in content, delivery, AND assessment products (just like we are supposed to do for kids)
 * Make easily accessible and public
 * All PD for software is aligned to software supported by the district (example: A set of classes were taught on websites that will not be supported when the district moves to sharepoint, so teachers will end up having invested in a resource that will not be supported in the near(?) future)
 * What would the elements of a personal P.D. plan look like?
 * you can pick and choose your learning
 * a mechanism to track your personal PD
 * and effective assessment program
 * On demand - video based, wikis, field trips
 * sound instruction supported by technology
 * Access to appropriate technologies
 * PD for multi certification
 * A carrot
 * How can these be resourced using technology?
 * Multiple formats - rss feeds, audio, video
 * Multiple device friendly
 * Permissions for appropriate tech use at appropriate levels
 * We need to have the resources in place to capture all relevant PD that we can...cameras, wireless mics, screencaptures
 * We could use our video production classes at high school to teach skills of video/audio editing and marketing principles...students would be working for an authentic audience with meaningful assignments.
 * Is 3% realistic?
 * 3% = 46 hrs
 * We now have about 3 days set aside in the calendar = 21 hrs
 * Add one hour per week = 36 more hrs
 * How do you use PLC time for PD?
 * Is 3% enough?
