PLN Assemble! #PDxPLN

There was a time when Professional Development was on the verge of total destruction. Educators were wary of where their training was heading. People were unsure where to turn as new and exciting ideas where being presented to them. 


One day, Rich Kiker put together a team dedicated to bring the best Professional Development possible to the world. With the support of the Center of Learning and Haiku Learning, Rich has assembled a team that will change the way professional development is offered. This might not be the the PD the world needs, but it is the PD the world deserves. 


Here is the crew assembled so far:

Steve Anderson - Multimedia in the Engaged Classroom

Shannon M Miller - Empowering your Students to Connect, Create and Collaborate with Web 2.0 Tools

Kyle Pace - Social Networking in Education 

Kristen Swanson - Brain Friendly Learning Online

Shelly Terrell - Meeting the Needs of Diverse Learners through Technology 

Nicholas Provenzano - Project Based Learning in the Web 2.0 World

Never before has a team been assembled to tackle this important problem facing the world. These passionate educators have crafted classes based on their years of experience and the needs of educators around the world. Nowhere else in the world can you find a better collection of educators dedicated to improve instruction.

This is a great chance for educators to sign up for Professional Development they know will be top notch. The first set of classes start July 9 and the second round of classes will begin on August 6. Classes are $699 with the option for Graduate Credit. 

All joking aside, I'm really excited to be part of a project to bring top notch instruction to teachers all over the world. I've always wanted to work with these amazing educators and now I have the chance. I encourage everyone to take a look at the course offerings and see how you can become a better teacher for your students in he fall.
