What do _you_ find to be important to collect as a reference for our profession? Currently, I began a thread for a PD glossary, and I deposited the terms we had shared agreement upon from last year's Online PD discussion. Given that there is now a new area called "Technology in the Classroom" Mariann Fedele and I will be moving those terms over there. 2) What terms to you find relevant and specific to the work that we do? We can construct this area so that it reflects the various meanings of each term; it is not to say that the definition is a permanent one, but evolving because we can each add to it. Perhaps we have terms there like "Blended PD" or "Sustained PD" and we can add examples under each. What terms would _you_ like to see in such a PD Glossary? Other thoughts on this? What is important to you to capture about our profession? Thanks, Jackie Taylor
