Webinar: Solving Professional Development Challenges
Personal reflection
Introduction
On Feb. 25 I attended a webinar titled "Solving Professional Development Challenges with On-Demand Professional Learning: Leveraging Technology for Educational Improvement." This event was sponsored by the School Improvement Network, a company that provides staff development in the form of workshops, videos, books, consultants, and implementation support.
The title of the webinar seemed promising; in fact, it merged two topics I have been studying in some depth since fall 2007: technology and teacher professional development. For several months I have been exploring online learning opportunities in an effort to better understand how web-based technology might support professional development of new and novice teachers. I was eager to see what insights might be gained from the webinar.
