Sometimes it’s best to plan full PD days, with training courses and practical workshops and everyone in a single location. The most important thing to have is a centralized hub for all activities, including online courses, discussion forums, webinars, and the ability to schedule events such as workshops.

There is nothing more important to an educator, outside of working with kids, than professional learning. Through social media a Personal Learning Network (PLN) provides a great antidote to the age-old time excuse. You can now learn anywhere, with anyone, at anytime you want for free.
