The group looks happy, energized and confident. Everybody seems to have a part and there is no obvious leader. Small group collaboration for participant-centered learning! ebarella https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642049 2018-03-06 14:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642049 Bridge cathy_arnold_11 https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642058 Quality Professional Development would bridge previous knowledge with new knowledge and technology to take classroom learning to new heights (i.e. skyscrappers)]]> 2018-03-06 14:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642058 mthomasdepd https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642148 PD is like a roller coaster.  Days will have their ups and downs, even turned upside down because of things out of your control. Sometimes that can be a little scary to not be able to see what is happening. Yet, we know the end is always in sight and the experience along the way can be fun and exhilarating!]]> 2018-03-06 14:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642148 The image of the bridge represents for me the distance traveled over the course of a successful PD session. There are bridges and connections made that can be immediately taken back into the classroom. Plus it represents the connections made with other educators either online or in person. salyers_beth https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642180 2018-03-06 14:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642180 The consultant is the guide, but isn't doing all of the work. They know the path ahead, but the passengers (teachers) are leading the forward movement. Everyone is in a safe environment (in the raft) but the challenge is what makes this exciting. jessicasheley1 https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642212 2018-03-06 14:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642212 A vehicle for our learning. We need to know how to operate it (best practices) in order to get to our destination. WE also need to be aware of the hazards along the way and know how to safely navigate them. gsmolyansky_depd https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642344 2018-03-06 14:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642344 https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642680 The group is working together, and each person is participating ]]> 2018-03-06 14:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cmillar_depd/PDIC2018/wish/238642680 PD isn't always easy.
