3:00pm [3:00pm] Best of BbWorld: Ensuring High Quality Online Professional Development
Description:
Thursday, October 01, 2009 3:00 PM US Eastern The Best of BbWorld Webinar series for K-12 brings highlights of our 2009 Users Conference right to you. Learn from the Schultz Center, a non-profit organization supporting the professional development needs of 5 Northeast Florida Districts including Duval County, about the challenges, successes and lessons learned when moving face to face professional learning to an online environment. Learn how they have managed to transition high quality professional learning activities into the online environment while keeping them aligned with national standards, and maintaining fidelity, rigor and relevance. With looming budget cuts, online professional learning for teachers and administrators has become indispensible. In school districts and institutions that implement online professional learning, teachers do not sacrifice valuable instructional time with their students, nor do they have to shoulder the costs of hiring substitutes or travel expenses related to professional learning. From the daily administration of Blackboard, to designing rigorous, relevant, current and engaging online courses for adults, there are many issues that should be anticipated and planned for. This webinar will provide practical advice and solutions for surviving the journey of transitioning traditional professional learning to the online environment.
