CMS always offers a ton of PD but I often hear the complaint that teachers can't leave their buildings because they can't get subs. It is quite a predicament. There are so many teachers who want to learn something new, they just don't have the time.
One of the best things I ever did was take a majority of my graduate program classes online because I was able to do them when I had time. Luckily, CMS offers some online PD you might not even be aware of. Now this isn't a normal PD session, there is no homework involved besides you watching a video.
Aubrey Harrison is another Instructional Technology Specialist and him and David Casavecchia run CLN. Their motto is: Every Teacher, Every Day, for a better learning experience. How cool is that?Together, they have three shows: IT weekly, Tech Minute, and app of the week. All three of these shows provide PD for teachers. The shows are entertaining and highly informative. Check it out!
