Professional Development 2.0

 

The Web is evolving, professional development is reinventing itself.

It's taking new shapes.

Online mentoring, coaching, one-to-one training.

It's breaking the masses into individual needs and goals.

 

 

Chaos is part of the process. Loads of unimaginable content and information are one click away.

Reflection and engagement lead to many nervous clicks. Knowledge is everywhere.

What's your share?

Teachers are in charge, not institutions.

Yes, our working places can still invest on our professional paths, but are doing little or, at least, not enough for hungry teachers...

Teachers can learn and enhance their professional skills anywhere, any time.

Learning is mobile and totally flexible.

 

Communities of Practice can do wonders for a curious teacher.

People in these Communities share, test, have fun, learn, collaborate, work, chit chat.

They are a powerful tool.

The Webheads are one amazing example of educators who are there for us.

These special Webheads speak the same global language, are ahead of their time and are doing wonders in the Web 2.0.

On the Web, teachers' spaces for learning are always open.

The process is on-going, never finished, not at all linear.

 

 

Technology is the means, not an end in itself.

It's the tool to reach spaces never dreamed of before.

It's connecting with students in ways never imagined.

It's connecting with others. A symbiosis happen.

 

 

It's learning the learners.

The tools of the Web 2.0 are limitless, hard to define which one to play around.

But these interactive applications might serve a purpose, a learning outcome.

Interesting concepts.Lots to be explored.

But how could a newbie start without giving up just by the thought of it?

Join, listen, share, write, click!
