Group+3

Group 3
This is where your group project will take place. Please be sure to keep the following criteria in mind as you and your team begin work:
 * 1) **Each member should contribute a resource that supports Professional Development for Teachers. This can be a digital resource, an article, or a model. (5 points)**
 * 2) **Each member will review one of your peers' contributed resources. This is simply viewing and rating another person's resource (this could be a summative or star rating ....i.e. 1-4 stars). (5 points)**

Be creative...this webliography can take the shape of a simple table, a google doc/presentation, or some other web 2.0 technology. To see a list of some cool web 2.0 Technologies you may want to use visit http://www.go2web20.net

Hi, Lisa, Charlotte and Libbi! I tried to comment under your poster, but it said only classmates were allowed to comment. I went ahead and then registered with my University of Akron e-mail, but it still didn't work. Hope you don't mind that I leave my review here:

"I love the many approaches that Libbi's article gave to providing effective professional development. This article recognizes that a one-size-fits-all approach will not meet the needs of all schools. It is encouraging and motivating to read about how schools have used innovation to meet the professional development needs of their staff members. Since this article was written several years ago, I would love to see a follow-up article that incorporates the technology available now. Even in 7 years, I bet there are many more resources that could be added to this great article. Thank you for sharing such a great resource, Libbi. I give it 4/5 stars." ~ Andrea Riley

Hi ladies! I absolutely love the way you set up your webliography! Glogster is a really cool application! Thanks for sharing this tool with us. I really like each of your resources as well. Charlotte I like that your resource has a variety of webinars that you can schedule and the webinars have different means to getting the information (video, slide presentation, etc). Lisa, I love the community idea. Teachers often do feel alone and if one can be involved in a learning community, teachers can benefit greatly from one another. And Libbi, your resource has a TON of information. I feel like if a teacher is stuck on something, this resource will have the answer somewhere between all the links. Nice job ladies, I give 5 stars to all! ~Nicole Makowski

media type="custom" key="6523579" align="left" We chose to create a Glog of our Professional Development resources.

You can view and comment on our glog at this link: []

While viewing be sure to scroll and click over the items to find all of the links!

Hello group members, I have sent you an e-mail regarding how we want to present our information and I have found my resource it is http://www.pbs.org/teachers/webinar/ This is a free resource that includes webinars, podcasts and forums. I will write more details after we agree upon a format for our webliography. Charlotte

Hello Charlotte and Elizabeth...I found an article on an electronic learning community using the Maryland Electronic Learning Community as a model. The Maryland model includes a lesson plan template for setting up online learning environments. http://www.edutopia.org/professional-development-through-learning-communities

I also looked at some of the collaboration apps on the site of web 2.0 technologies...I thought Zbang looked great, but the site will no longer let us download (it is closed). Since we are simply sharing our article, resource, etc. and our rating of the source, we only need a simple display. I would like to take this opportunity to learn a new app, but I don't want to use something that I will not be using in the future...I could see an activity like this transcending into my teaching team at my school and would like to set up something that I think we could use in our schools...what do you think? Lisa

Playing with glogster..It is a poster making/visual creating tool....here is a link to what I created...decide if you like it. I am trying to find out if you can edit it to add your article and review, if not, we should scrap it and just put a table on this wiki. Thanks!  [[[Technology Glog-professional development/]]]

7:30 PM...okay..I found out that we cannot edit the glog, but we can comment on the poster/glog. So if we had all articles links displayed on the poster, the reviews could be as comments below...just a thought or we could stick to the table idea in the wiki.
