Hello everyone,
At the beginning of this week, we began by sharing our experiences as 
participants with professional development online or at a distance, and we are 
having some very energizing discussions!  Teachers, as David noted, we 
*really* would like to continue hearing from you in this regard.  I encourage 
teachers to share your  perspectives as participants in online PD as some of 
us also address additional topics.

Many of us also have a unique involvement in the area of providing 
professional development online or at a distance, for teachers. Since there is 
much going on in this area, I'd like for us to share/continue sharing more 
about our experiences in providing PD online or at a distance.

~ Why did you/your organization become involved in professional development 
online? What need(s) were you addressing? How did you decide to address those 
needs?

~ Describe the online PD you/your organization offer. How is the online PD you 
offer (or have offered) similar or different from more familiar forms of 
online delivery (i.e. course platforms)?

~ What have you found to be particularly important for making online PD 
successful for teachers? What changes have you/your organization experienced 
in the development and delivery of online PD, perhaps even as a result of 
this?

~ And please keep raising the tough questions and sharing the great ideas!

What a rich exchange this has been this week!  I hope that even more of us 
will contribute to the experience.

Best,

Jackie
