I really like the Unconference.  It is teachers teaching teachers.  The presenters are not professional presenters who travel from city to city, presenting a polished product.  These professional presenters are out of touch.  On the flip side, teachers are in the trenches.  They know what is really going on.  I'd rather learn from those who are actually doing the things they are presenting in their classroom.]]> 2020-08-06 13:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671264506 Choice boards is a tool I would use in class. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671265460 2020-08-06 13:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671265460 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671267156 I feel that offering a choice board of PD options allows educators to select the PD areas that would be most beneficial to their individual issues. ]]> 2020-08-06 13:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671267156 I love being able to observe and learn from our other amazing teachers here. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671267248 2020-08-06 13:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671267248 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671267257 Love the idea of an at your own pace and own interest conference! This seems a lot more effective and efficient. ]]> 2020-08-06 13:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671267257 I love the teachers-helping-teachers with real classroom questions. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671268536 2020-08-06 13:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671268536 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671279575 Love the idea of hands on PD, where we can see the agenda in action. ]]> 2020-08-06 13:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671279575 I really like the idea of the choice board for a PD option. This tool allows educators to select the areas of PD that they feel is most beneficial to their individual needs at that time. Nothing worse than a PD training over something you, yourself could teach or something you have no vested interest in learning. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671280908 2020-08-06 13:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671280908 Group work is always a good thing. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671285599 2020-08-06 13:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671285599 This is where I learn best, hands on learning. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671286809 2020-08-06 13:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671286809 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671296830 Setting personal goals for success plays a key role in both my students and my focus and future achievement.]]> 2020-08-06 13:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671296830 Trying new things with others takes the sting of failure away. It's good to crash and burn together, learn from the experience, and improve. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671307732 2020-08-06 14:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671307732 lots of choices https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671319182 I see this as a great tool for PD and for the classroom, and now I have great resources for my Google toolbox.]]> 2020-08-06 14:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671319182 I'm into it https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671321004 This would be something very satisfying to me, and fun.]]> 2020-08-06 14:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671321004 The choice board set up was neat, and something I would be interested in using, though I did not see information on creating that type of google doc. APPS: I really like "BOOK CREATOR." Create a lesson as a book, and students can use tools to fill in answers. Students can collaborate in real-time on different devices. Save books to class library. GOOGLE SLIDES creates closed captions using your voice recordings. I do not have time to make an "EDPUZZLE" video now, but I saved the link and info to create one for my kids later this week. Thanks! https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671433932 2020-08-06 15:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671433932 Not all pd is the same for all teachers. I think pd needs to line up with your domain. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671454288 2020-08-06 15:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671454288 It is a powerful tool to use. Observing other teachers will help to gather new teaching ideas and practices to use in your own classroom. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671517582 2020-08-06 16:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671517582 I like the concept. I got the impression that the interaction is face to face, which may be difficult in our current COVID-19 climate. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671627881 2020-08-06 18:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671627881 I watched a few of these YouTube videos. The ones about blended learning were on point. However, I did not understand how the Jane Zesch memorial video or the Untold Truth About Money video apply to blended learning. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671633920 2020-08-06 18:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671633920 Divide and Conquer! Any new technology or system should be used in real classroom for adequate time. Things which continue to work after the new is worn off, those are keepers. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671642114 2020-08-06 18:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671642114 Teachers are learners too and we need to recognize that works for our students will probably work for us too. I am believer in that we can also learn something everyday, we just need to be diligent and maintain the drive to do so. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671720787 2020-08-06 19:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671720787 Being the only person to teach my subject on campus, creating my own plan helps me ensure that things are specified to my content and students. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671726362 2020-08-06 19:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671726362 I can hear Mr. Burns right now saying..."Badges...Badges...We don't need no stinking badges!" howardb8 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671751079 2020-08-06 20:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671751079 howardb8 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671752073 Actually I love this idea. I like the idea of earning something as part of a quest for knowledge.]]> 2020-08-06 20:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671752073 howardb8 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671753462 Very useful activity so that we can see others in action and pick up pointers on what works and point out what doesn't.]]> 2020-08-06 20:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671753462 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671987788 I like the idea of it being informal.  Like another person said, learning from someone in the trenches that understands what the teachers are doing in the classroom is nice and motivating.  I do not like sitting through trainings that tell me what something is but nothing about how to incorporate it.  ]]> 2020-08-07 01:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671987788 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671988772 Who doesn’t like choice!?!?  A choice board is definitely a good idea. ]]> 2020-08-07 01:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/671988772 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672080293 I like the freedom to choose what PD will most benefit you.]]> 2020-08-07 03:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672080293 https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672086719 The idea that we, as teachers, have the ability to learn what we want to learn from our peers is very convenient and allows like minded people, dealing with similar challenges and desires in the classroom, to work together.]]> 2020-08-07 03:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672086719 I love it when you can choose to attend what is relevant to your needs. https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672389709 2020-08-07 13:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672389709 Short Sessions, Key Information https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672402838 I like how the content was presented in short presentations (20 minutes) and has to really focus on presenting the key information. ]]> 2020-08-07 13:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672402838 Choice Boards https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672477949 Choice boards are a good option to bring into the classroom.]]> 2020-08-07 15:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672477949 Think this will be easiest options with special ed https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672671059 2020-08-07 18:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyr34/alternativepdmodels/wish/672671059
