The list is written in detail

# data[].attributes.body
The list is complete. As for me, I need working on feedback and collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
I really find the list comprehensive and useful . It has clear steps, the only thing that I need a great patience and time managing to achieve all aspects of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Costs can sometimes be a barrier to accessing certain learning opportunities, as they may be too expensive for us to afford.

# data[].attributes.body
When I choose an app for my students I look for a digital tool that is relevant to the proposed experiential activity and that facilitates use in the small group. Interaction must ensure that all children can act and collaborate.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should have free access to all online resources.

It would be great if a financial framework affecting licenses was added

# data[].attributes.body
The list offered is very complete and everything is included. Perhaps I would add a list of objectives since I always check it before selecting a course.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, assessment and evaluation are crucial aspects of any professional learning opportunity. It's essential to consider whether the training program includes methods for assessing my learning progress and evaluating the effectiveness of the training. This allows for reflection on what has been learned and how it can be applied in practice. Additionally, it helps to ensure that the training aligns with my learning goals and contributes to my overall professional development as an educator. Therefore, it's important to thoroughly examine whether the assessment and evaluation components are adequately incorporated into the professional learning opportunity.

1. Identify learning objectives: Ensure that the selected learning resources and activities align with the specific learning objectives you have identified. If any learning opportunities are missing from the checklist, consider how they can be incorporated to address the objectives.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Consider learning preferences and styles: Take into account the various learning preferences and styles of your learners when selecting resources and activities. If any specific preferences or styles are missing from the checklist, find ways to accommodate them in your learning plan.

3. Evaluate the relevance of the content: Make sure that the content of the selected resources and activities is relevant and up-to-date. If any relevant topics or information are missing from the checklist, seek out additional resources to fill in the gaps.

4. Assess the credibility of the sources: Ensure that the sources of information used in the learning resources and activities are credible and trustworthy. If any criteria for assessing credibility are missing from the checklist, update your evaluation process to include them.

5. Provide opportunities for application and practice: Include opportunities for learners to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios through practical activities or simulations. If any types of application or practice opportunities are missing from the checklist, brainstorm ways to incorporate them into the learning experience.

6. Encourage collaboration and interaction: Foster a collaborative learning environment by including activities that promote interaction and discussion among learners. If any collaborative opportunities are missing from the checklist, consider how they can be integrated into the learning plan.

7. Offer feedback and assessment: Provide feedback and assessment opportunities to help learners track their progress and identify areas for improvement. If any feedback mechanisms or assessment tools are missing from the checklist, explore new ways to implement them in your learning strategy.

By considering these missing aspects in selecting learning resources and activities, you can create a well-rounded and effective learning experience for your learners.

# data[].attributes.body
When I look at the training provider, I am interested in whether it offers a sufficiently broad framework in which I can acquire the minimum targeted competencies. I am interested, if we are talking about ICT tools, what is the ratio between the theoretical part and the practical part, since my learning style is one of repetitive practice. It is also important that the software provider offers me the chance to learn by discovery!

# data[].attributes.body
I found the list is very complete and exhaustive.

If I have something to add to the list is motivation. It´s very obvious but when learning experiences are imposed the teachers´ team will not be motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
The list is very comprehensive! I would't know what to add :)

# data[].attributes.body
I will be able to directly experience the experience gained in this training.

# data[].attributes.body
Very comprehensive list of criteria from individual point of view. I might add the relevance of the PD from home institution point of view, if it fits in its general mission. Sometimes teachers take courses that fit their individual needs but not really go hand in hand with the school´s mission. Financial matters might be an other criteria as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The financial impact of the training is a big consideration for me.

# data[].attributes.body
By checking the comments and your list I really do not have anything to add

Every aspect seems to have been covered if including the comments and adds of colleagues

# data[].attributes.body
The list is comprehensive and very detailed.

# data[].attributes.body
Online teaching is the best for me because there are many tools available at this time

# data[].attributes.body
I would add to the list a financial framework that affects equipment or licenses. Teachers should have access to all online resources for free.

# data[].attributes.body
The aspects that I would indicate that may be missing are methodology to be used as well as tools or supports to be used.

# data[].attributes.body
I would surely think how much time I will need to accomplish all the tasks and how useful it willbe for my students and me.

# data[].attributes.body
Approach to reality

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for the checklist. I wouldn't change anything. I'll keep it in my portfolio for future reference. Today's offer for MOOCs and webinars is enormous and one can easily be trapped into attending a professional development event just for the sake of it. If we keep in mind this checklist, the risk of that is minimal.

# data[].attributes.body
The list is quite complete, I would include:

1. Inclusion and diversity

2. A SWOT analysis of the digital tools to be used, the needs of the teachers, and the time and organization.

We live in a world full of learning oportunities. This list a good example, but more important question is would it help our stakeholders. We always need tot hink about students, and does it helps them to learn better or easier.

# data[].attributes.body
The list is almost complete and helpful however, when adults are concerned time and price of the provided seminars should be mentioned.

# data[].attributes.body
The list is really completed. But I also add the price for teacher's work. In Ukraine teachers are very uploaeded a lot of extra work (free, not pained). Because of the war they combine a lot of roles and are busy during the whole day (we joke that we work 24 hours a day).

# data[].attributes.body
very good and helpful, thank you

The list is quite comprehensive, I would only add the fact that we are living in times that require a rabid adaptation to the changes that have occurred in order to be better, which requires time and money that we know cannot be allocated only to professional development.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the list and I find it helpful. However, I would add the time needed for the completion of activities... We are all busy professionals...

# data[].attributes.body
the list is really exhaustive and covers all the aspects that I generally take into account before choosing to take a refresher course apart from the time commitment issue. When a course is too demanding it could become really hard to attend

# data[].attributes.body
Price is also an important item.

# data[].attributes.body
back on the checklist:

does the resource i choose suite my Ss ages

does it meets my subject context.

is it meets different learning styles

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at the checklist, aligning my professional goals with the goals with the goals can give me a clearer picture of how I choose strategies and relate to the needs of each class, of students with special educational needs, how special educational needs, how and how much I can do interactive activities based on skills and the skills specific to the subject I teach, but also on the skills and creativity of the students so that, in the end, I get results that satisfy the students as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Professional development often has a price. So I think that we also have to look at the balance between price and quality. The activity has to be affordable for a school too.

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding professional learning and digital technology's role is crucial. To select an online training opportunity effectively, identify skills or knowledge gaps and daily challenges. Choose topics aligning with your goals. Evaluate professional learning by considering its alignment with your objectives, relevance to your classroom, applicability of strategies, engagement level, availability of feedback/support, the provider's quality, time commitment, collaborative opportunities, and long-term impact on your development. If any aspects are missing from this checklist, consider including factors like cost-effectiveness, accessibility, technology requirements, or specific content areas relevant to your discipline. This comprehensive approach ensures a targeted and beneficial professional learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my opportunity for professional learning. I will be able to effectively apply new strategies and skills in my teaching practice.

# data[].attributes.body
earning goals:

1. Identify Your Objectives: Determine what you want to achieve through learning. This could be acquiring new skills, gaining knowledge in a particular subject area, improving existing skills, or advancing your career prospects.

2. Make Goals Specific and Measurable: Clearly define what you want to accomplish and ensure that your goals are measurable so that you can track your progress. For example, instead of setting a vague goal like "improve communication skills," you might set a goal to "deliver a presentation to a group of peers without relying on notes."

3. Set Realistic Expectations: Ensure that your goals are achievable within a reasonable timeframe and align with your current abilities and resources. Setting overly ambitious goals can lead to frustration and discouragement.

4. Break Goals Down into Smaller Steps: Divide larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks or milestones. This makes the learning process less daunting and allows you to celebrate achievements along the way.

# data[].attributes.body
Will I apply the acquired knowledge to teaching students? Will students be able to use new technologies for learning?

# data[].attributes.body
This list seems pretty thorough.

Just wanted to highlight how important it is to be into what you're learning. You really get the most out of it when you're genuinely interested and excited about the opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
Are there any aspects missing from this list?

The list is really complete and useful when choosing a training. I tend to choose courses that interest me, rather to those that can be useful in my daily teaching. So having this in mind will make me choose better form now on.

Regarding the list, one of the most important points for me is the Duration and time commitment, since I usually lack of it, so I can't engage with too demanding courses in time or in tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that there could be included the issue of "inclusion".

# data[].attributes.body
The educational needs of the students with special educational requirements with whom I work require the adaptation of digital resources to their ability to understand. It is imperative to adapt digital activities by integrating digital tools in order to have a quality educational act.

# data[].attributes.body
All of the above, but availability (price) is also an important item.

# data[].attributes.body
Up to now, it described the topics in a systamatic way. So it provided me an insight what I am doing nowadays and what I can do in future. I expect to leaern more about useful tools. I say useful because some of them make you regret trying it by wasting your time.

# data[].attributes.body
I would include attention to

different learning styles

combination of multiple level to cope with different level of skills

About the use of Padlet:

Alignment with goals

Yes, I was looking for a quick, easy tool for my students and partners to use together with clear visual elements and easy to adapt features.

Relevance to classroom needs

Very easy to make and to use, students can just klink on the link and upload ideas, pictures or information.

Students can work together on the same Padlet category. Teachers can monitor and check work posted.

Applicability of strategies

Padlet has made my life a lot easier, because it's an effective tool to use in almost any lesson/ activity.

Engagement and interactivity

Students can see each other's work posted and therefore learn from each other. When they work in groups, they can post their ideas in their special group and they can react on each other's posts, if permitted.

Feedback and support

Yes, teachers can offer feedback on delivered work and students can react to it, as well. If permitted, students can also react to each other's work and offer feedback.

Quality of the training provider

Padlet is widely used and is very use friendly. There is no direct helpdesk visible, but fortunately, Padlet reacts pretty quickly to questions and is willing to assist users in solving any problem. My experience with Padlet problem-solving is great, as they easily and fairly solved some financial issues/ misunderstandings. They sent me clear instructions on how to change the settings into my advantage.

Duration and time commitment

Learning how to use Padlet is very quick, even if you don't follow some tutorials. Once you've used it, you'll stick to it.

Collaborative opportunities

Yes, you can share and work together on the same Padlet; you can make Padlets for your partners/ students to fill in (if you want to cut costs). One could also use the ready to use Padlets created by AI (time saving).

Longterm impact

By sharing information in an attractive way and by integrating clarity and effectiveness in our lessons, this tool proves to be a tool you will want to stick to for a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
The platform or app should be able to incorporate different teaching resources, approaches, and methodologies.

# data[].attributes.body
When I select online professional learning opportunities, it's crucial for me to consider my preferred learning style and schedule. I prioritize courses that offer flexibility and align with my availability. I take note of platforms that offer self-paced learning options, as well as those with scheduled sessions or live interactions. I thoroughly assess whether the course format and structure suit my learning preferences and commitments, ensuring that I can engage effectively and make the most of the learning experience. By considering these factors, I can select online courses that best support my professional growth and development.

# data[].attributes.body
The main question I ask myself is: is this tool suitable for the age of my pupils and the way my class is organised? Of course, cost is also an important consideration.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the connection of content with students interests is important. This is much linked to emotional intelligence and dealing with students lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Applicability of strategies and collaborative opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Accessibility: ensure that the resources and activities are accessibles to all learners, taking into account factors susch us language proficiency, disabilities, and tehnological limitations. Diversity: offer a variety of resources and activities to accommodate different learning styles and pñreferences. This might include text based materials, videos, prodcasts, interactive simulations, and group discuccions.

# data[].attributes.body
Questions for Self-Reflection maybe?

Because reflecting on your teaching practices is vital to being a lifelong learner.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for this checklist, it is really useful and complete.

# data[].attributes.body
Congratulations, I found the list very excellent.

# data[].attributes.body
Great list. I think how the professional development is acknowledged by the education system.

# data[].attributes.body
As a lifelong learner and an educator who strives to be at the forefront, I find three aspects crucial to my professional development:

1. Alignment with Goals: I'm constantly setting new goals for myself and my students. Aligning my learning with those goals I gain focused and impactful knowledge.

2. Relevance to Classroom Needs: My students are unique, and I'm always adapting lessons to meet their individual needs. Similarly, my professional development needs to be relevant to their challenges and learning styles. By choosing resources that directly address their needs, I bring back practical strategies I can implement immediately and see their impact firsthand.

3. Applicability of Strategies: I'm not just about learning, I'm about taking action! Putting new knowledge into practice is what excites me most. Choosing workshops with hands-on activities or resources with clear implementation steps allows me to hit the ground running and see the positive impact on my teaching and my students' learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The list presents the most important elements for choosing a training course. I follow training courses with topics that I can integrate into my students' curriculum.

For example, to integrate a digital tool into my educational scenario, I not only check that the tool respects the GDPR, but also the added value of digital technology in the learning process of my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I would include such thing as if the tool is free to use. It happens that we find some useful tool but it has limits in its free version.

# data[].attributes.body
The list touched on all the important aspects that an educator can follow when he wants to complete a training course. personally, I think that the most important aspects that I aim at are the applicability of the strategies in practice and relevance to the needs of the class.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the Checklist very useful and at a first glance I didn't miss anything. However I agree with the previous posts and having information about personal data protection would be important. Also, bearing in mind the commitement taken when participating in these learning opportunities, it's a pity they are not recognised for career progression.

# data[].attributes.body
Accessibility, e-safety and personal data protection, diversity, appeal to students

# data[].attributes.body
Accessibility and safety

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion it is really important the e-safety and accessibility. Data protection, contents, try to use this to help you enrich the curruculum from your country.

Also, sharing our progress and needs, difficulties and results with others will give us a good point to continue with out knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
e-safety , accessibility, students expectations,

students' digital knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
Before selecting a professional learning course, the first thing I check is obviously if the content aligns with my current professional goals, so that it ensures that the time and effort invested contribute meaningfully to my career and what I learn can be used in the classroom. Then, I evaluate the ”logistical aspects” such as schedule, place (I usually take online courses) and whether they are synchronous or asynchronous. For me, flexibility in terms of timing and accessibility is really important.

Some have mentioned the cost, but fortunately, there is a wide range of free courses offered by our national and local education boards that are really interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a missing aspect would be the cost of the course. Big providers and good courses sometimes are expensive, so I think this would be something to consider.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the checklist is appropriate. I would also like to highlight. about Engagement and interactivity, that it is important the fun and pleasant aspect of the activities in which we are involved. We learn more and in an effective way when we have fun and are involved in engaging activities!

# data[].attributes.body
I am a trainer in my school and I always consider the challenges to be faced as opportunities for group growth. Sometimes I distribute the relevant pages of Edgar Morin's text The well-made head A well-made head avoids the accumulation of knowledge. You never stop learning learn; this professional development opportunity aligns with my involvement in being a teacher

# data[].attributes.body
I try to use learning resources, yet, the best ones cost, so this would be a missing aspect.

I do used to pay a resource platform and I am planning to do it again.

Another limitation would be the fact that not always these resources match with the specific needs of my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking back on the checklist for learning opportunities I do not find missing aspects, I think it is appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body
Among the missing aspects that I identified when I want to plan a learning activity, I mention: protection, accessibility.

# data[].attributes.body
Is the PD time consuming? I don't have time to focus on long-term PDs.

Is there peer review in the PD? I like peer reviewing the most.

Will I learn new techniques and strategies which I will be able to use in my classroom? It is very important for me.

# data[].attributes.body
The fee for courses is for me very important. They must bi practical and useful. we must not forget about the wellbeing and soft skills

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Other aspects to consider are the costs associated, the limits of use when free, the quality ot the resources.

Also when I think in MOOC I think it is important they provide acreditation or a certificate that could be added to my professional portfolio.

# data[].attributes.body
protection, accessibility, accreditations, content quality

# data[].attributes.body
While the checklist provided covers many important aspects of selecting professional learning opportunities, there are a few additional considerations that could be included:

1. Cost and Accessibility: Is the professional learning opportunity affordable or accessible to educators with various budgets or in different geographical locations? Are there options for financial assistance or scholarships available?

2. Evidence-Based Practices: Does the training incorporate evidence-based practices and research-backed strategies for teaching and learning? Are there references to empirical studies or pedagogical theories supporting the content?

3. Differentiation and Personalization: Does the training offer opportunities for differentiation and personalization to meet individual learning needs and preferences? Are there options for customization or adaptive learning pathways?

4. Sustainability and Transferability: How sustainable are the skills and knowledge gained from the training in the long term? Can the strategies learned be easily transferred and applied across different teaching contexts or subjects?

5. Cultural and Linguistic Relevance: Is the content of the training culturally and linguistically relevant to a diverse range of educators and students? Does it acknowledge and address the unique needs and backgrounds of learners from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds?

Including these aspects in the checklist can help educators make more informed decisions when selecting professional learning opportunities that best meet their needs and goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I am enthusiastic about applying the skills I am acquiring to practical situations. In this case, I strive to select learning opportunities to the specific needs of the students in my current classes and the technical restrictions of the school where I work. By doing so, I can ensure that my teaching methods are tailored to the context in which I teach.

# data[].attributes.body
Applicability of strategies:

When I decide to apply a strategy at school, I need to make it relevant to my students' needs and at the same time choose it if it is useful for their learning goals

# data[].attributes.body
If on the one hand the use of the technological tools is very useful, on the other hand we should not forget that we need to delelop teachers and students well being and their soft skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Cost, validity, conformity with the curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
Alignment with goals.

Does this professional learning opportunity align with my current professional goals and objectives?

I think that sharing results or difficulties with other teachers engaged in the same course can give me more possibilities to understand my professional level. E.g. pair assessment give us useful feedback to improve and enhance our work.

# data[].attributes.body
The learning resource should be adapted to the needs of the students, as well as to the current level of digital skills and pedagogical knowledge of the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
When selecting online professional learning opportunities, it is important to consider several factors to ensure that the experience is valuable and beneficial for your development, such as: Consider your learning style: Everyone has a unique learning style, so it is important to consider how you learn best when selecting online professional learning opportunities; Assess the credibility of the provider: When selecting online professional learning opportunities, it is crucial to assess the credibility and reputation of the provider. Look for opportunities offered by reputable organizations, institutions, or professionals in your field. Check for certifications, accreditations, and endorsements that validate the quality and credibility of the opportunity; Evaluate the content and format: Review the content and format of the online professional learning opportunities to ensure that they are relevant, up-to-date, and engaging. Consider the curriculum, resources, delivery methods, and assessments to determine if the opportunity will meet your learning needs and expectations.
