Did this make you reflect on your role as a teacher? It certainly made me stop and think about expectations in the classroom being a 2 way street. I've always known that I expected certain things of students but how deep do their expectations of me run and am I living up to those expectations?
Did this make you reassess the way you think about your students too? Did this reaffirm your beliefs on what you should be doing as a teacher? Can you explain these thoughts and how they will effect how you teach?
Then this is PD.
You don't have to be sitting in a room in front of a presenter, with other teachers, for it to be PD.
But how do we know that VIT accepts online video as an effective source of PD? This one is fairly easy to answer!
I will give you three guesses where this video is from. That's right, it's from VIT's Youtube channel. It's the first part of a 6-segment section on their first "Twilight Seminar" in 2011. They started their Youtube channel about a year ago and have added 3 Twilight Seminars and a few other videos.
Using the medium to deliver their message is a public statement that they understand online video is a valid and constructive way to deliver and receive information.
Make sure you include video in your Pd submissions if you find them informative, inspirational and thought provoking and have a positive effect on your role as a teacher!
