Thing 22

Michigan Learnport is an excellent way for teachers to get online professional development. I have taken some online professional development before including some during my university time. I like online classes for several reasons-- they are usually self paced. You can do them when ever you choose (ie-- this is great for night owls or early birds). There is no cost for parking, walking across a campus, or babysitter fees to pay when you take an online class.

This online class has been fun. I like that I could work on it at my own pace! I personally just set aside time each week when I wouldn't be bothered and spent a few hours wrapped up in it. The most challenging personally was the PODCAST. I hate the sound of my own voice and after three attempts I went with the best of the worst. My favorite activities were the teaching videos and the picture editors.
