I believe that the staff is very open minded and  appeared very excited  about the new approach to professional development.  I think it will take practice in order to get used to an online professional learning platform. It might be a great idea to set up a live chat or a resource video library that shows the step by step instructions to access the content online in order to troubleshoot for teachers that are not completely comfortable with the new online platform.

First challenge might be which email address should we use?  LMSVSD.net or lmsvschools.org.
The idea, option, and opportunity for completing training online and at your own pace is excellent.

I think most teachers will be happy about this format- especially for the mandated videos! There will be some learning curve, but nothing we can't handle.

I think calculating the hours will be complicated and maybe penalize the fast workers?  I think the overall idea is fantastic, and at least we won't be getting more binders!  I also think online PD for us may make teachers more open to exploring online learning for their students. I also think some teachers will become my full time second job tutoring them and you're not paying us enough for the amount of help they'll need!

Some staff members are worried there will not be something available that will be specific to their role or their level of experience. Teachers want relevant material they can implement this year.  There could also be some confusion as to which modules (JPA vs. Online PD) are to be completed during the floating PD day or not. Some sites have been given some info about the online PD, but it is being presented as something you can complete all on Aug 5. Clear, direct communication will be really essential to roll-out this exciting new way of learning!

I really like this format for collaborating with my PLC. I do see those who are not technologically savvy having a hard time with this.

My staff was very excited about the option of online PD yesterday when it was presented at our SLD. However, I can see some of our teachers getting overwhelmed when there are glitches like Google taking them to the wrong link like it did today. They might think they completed the assignment when in reality they did not.

I'm concerned about teachers being frustrated in the beginning.  I think as long as a team member in each grade level is semi tech-savvy that it will smooth out as we go.

I think they might have challenges logging in and getting started.

I fear that teachers may focus their attention on HOW to use Google Classroom, which has proved to be challenging for some- which would add more time to the required hours of PD. This may be frustrating, but these teachers may find comfort in knowing a face-to-face option is available as well.

The challenges I see staff having with this new PD is that they may be discouraged/over whelmed easily due to lack of experience with many of these programs

I see my staff  being  fearful of using the computer for PD because of the unfamiliarity with the entire process. Anything new is scary!!
The challenge would be everyones computer cooperating at the time they are ready. This challenge could be due to staff not shutting down their computer daily to too many programs/tabs open, or having a program that may be causing difficulty.

I have many older teachers who are not as familiar with technology and how to use it. I envision lots of questions and help needed even though it appears very straightforward and simple.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how many teachers will have technical difficulties and need help navigating through the courses. Most teachers sounded excited about this new option for professional development.

# data[].attributes.body
I could easily see some of the staff members I work with having a hard time figuring out what to do and how each tech piece works. I can foresee a few people I work with, still needing assistance even after watching the tutorial videos.

I worry about people being overwhelmed thinking this is more work. In reality, it is work they are being paid for, but it is spent on their time, where they want, and what topic they choose. It can be something very powerful!
