Episode 002: Survival Tips for Teaching with Technology (1) Apr 13, 2015

Show notes

Welcome to our first “real episode” of Free Teacher PD.

I’m Michael Werner, and it’s an honor to be your host for what we hope will become a go-to podcast for you.

And, what better way to kick off this new podcast series than with one SimpleK12’s Teacher Learning Community’s most favorite presenters, Shelly Terrell.

I’ll tell you more about Shelly in Part 2 of this topic.

Today we’re going to present Part 1 of a great webinar audio from SURVIVAL TIPS FOR TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY.

Many of today's learners have daily access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) that push their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to new heights.

The KEY QUESTIONS that this episode will answer are:

How do we best support learning with ICTs so that students stay on track and aren't navigating alone?

AND…

How do we use technology in a way that promotes creativity and critical thinking skills?

SO…

Please join me now in welcoming Shelly Terrell as she shares tips for managing a classroom full of technology and suggests ways that teachers can effectively integrate technology to support higher order thinking skills.

Let’s get learning!

Episode 001: Free Teacher PD - What It's All About Apr 07, 2015

Show notes

Hi.

Michael Werner here.

I’m the CEO at SimpleK12.com, the home of the Teacher Learning Community.

Over the last 30 years, we’ve been helping teachers learn and explore the intersection of technology and the classroom.

In recent years, much of this learning has taken place inside the Teacher Learning Community.

One of the most frequent requests we’ve had in the last year is for other ways to access the great content that our presenters share in the over 600 live webinars we produce each year.

Of course, inside the Community, we offer our members complete access to archived webinar recordings that they can view on their own, any time and anywhere they like…

It’s what we like to call: Professional Development in Your PJs.

That’s why, if you’ve been around SimpleK12 at all, you’ll notice the bunny slippers as part of our logo and in other things we do.

Actually, getting a pair of real baby blue bunny slippers from SimpleK12 is something that some of our Community members go to great lengths to obtain.

But, what if you’re not at a PC or able to view a live webinar on a mobile device, such as when you’re driving, or when you’re working in your garden or kitchen perhaps?

That’s what led us to this new podcast.

In each episode in this series, we’ve extracted the audio from a webinar recording and placed it into the podcast.

Now, you might ask yourself, can the audio alone, that was extracted from a presentation that included visual or video components, be useful?

Well, and this may surprise you… after several tests with dozens of different webinars, we concluded that “well, yes, it does translate quite well.”

Yes, there is the occasional point, in one webinar or another, when you might have a question while listening without aid of the full webinar itself or other visual reference.

But, those times are rare.

Yes, if that does become an issue, on the FreeTeacherPD website that accompanies this podcast, we provide a link to the full recording of the webinar inside the

d our most popular webinar sessions to provide you with teacher professional development on the go.

So, slip on those bunny slippers and get ready for some Professional Development in Your PJs.

Let’s get learning!
