Have you (PPS teachers) signed up at our Ning (link on the right under blog roll–>)? One of our virtual professional development activities is 21 Things for Teachers, or a self-paced opportunity where you are encouraged to explore and play. The goal of this activity is for you to recognize the value of Web 2.0 resources and tools as a means to improve teaching and learning. The document can be found online at http://OITMSPD.pbworks.com. If you learn even just a few things that benefit our students, then your effort will be worth it.
For example, #17 asks for you to create an avatar at http://cpbintegrated.com/theherofactory/ and become a hero! You can see my avatar above. Enjoy!

21? We librarians have 23 tasks. Myself, I enjoyed the Big Huge Labs motivational poster creator.

Brian,
Is it only for your division, or can others sign up too?

Hi Tina,
The sign in will only recognize PPS employees. However, there is good news! After we collect data and look over what we’ve found out, the department is going to share virtually this summer (deadline for teachers is in June). I’ll let you know as soon as everything is ready.
Thanks for asking!
