Professional development for busy teachers

By K. Byers & H. Thompson-Laing

Voice of film-makers: Many of us teachers simply do not have the time or money for subscriptions to high-profile professional development sites or workshops. Teachers need to be regularly tapping into professional learning communities to keep up to date with the rapidly changing times so they can provide their students with a quality and relevant education. This quick video will provide some social networking sites and professional learning communities where you can access resources and ideas, collaborate with other teachers, and develop your knowledge and skills as a teacher for no cost, and anytime of day.
