If you are going to be trying to give them some PD... It better be short and valuable!]]> 2021-10-12 01:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809298991 vickipro https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809299072 Engagement is important for there to be meaningful discussion. There needs to be a comfort level for many adults to share. ]]> 2021-10-12 01:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809299072 https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809299171 Content must be relevant and learners must see the immediate worth of the content. Educators bandwidth is so thin these days, that if isn't readily available/usable, they may think it just isn't worth it. ]]> 2021-10-12 01:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809299171 susancaisse https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809300658 I had a really great experience today in my reading and writing class.  We are learning how to write essays.  My student said that she needed to learn to write an email to her daughter's teacher.  I talked about how that's related to writing an essay. She's going to write an introduction that tells why she is writing and why it's important, then she's going to list her important points and then sum up what she's saying and ask a question or make a statement.  She felt so much happier after I showed her how what she is learning is directly applicable to her needs.

The podcast contrasted learning as a child & adult which I thought was so interesting. Although the pandemic has made adult learning PD's out of focus, hopefully, this will change soon.]]> 2021-10-12 02:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1809305307 https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1822611921 I really appreciated the reference to different cultures. As an ESOL instructor, I have heard this a lot, but when I'm in other learning spaces, I don't hear this. I felt encouraged to see it addressed in our weekly work.]]> 2021-10-17 23:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kimread/10qf9sp7mrl25qdr/wish/1822611921
