* Tech Coaching at a Professional Development Conference




What topics do Tech Coaches look for?

Claudio \\u2013 This time around I was looking for AR/VR resources. Looking to delve into creating AR/VR content
Claudio \\u2013 creativity tools

Adobe SPARK


Susan \\u2013 On my recent trip to FETC I focused on ways to curate resources and using visual thinking to encourage student engagement and enhance lesson planning. \\xa0In recent years I\\u2019ve focused a lot on efficient use of GSuite tools and on Personalized Learning.


What topics should Tech Coaches be teaching?

Top 10 lists vs School Based Examples


RFP\\u2019s that get you accepted every time and bring in a crowd
Claudio \\u2013 Time off from work \\u2013 adds value to the district
Susan \\xa0\\u2013 Efficiency, organization, and productivity. \\xa0Often teachers get overwhelmed with all the apps available and even just simple clutter in their Google Drive. \\xa0Showing them efficient and productive ways to handle this is huge.




* Keeping Professional Development alive in the district as the summer approaches




When should you stop providing PD?
Claudio \\u2013 struggle is getting teachers there. No stipend or incentive makes it difficult to get teachers there
Claudio \\u2013 \\xa0relevant & interactive. Keep teacher engaged.
Susan \\u2013 echo Claudios points. \\xa0Keeping in alive and engaging. My coworker and I are looking at ways to take our summer PD as well as a lot of our regular PD online via Google Classroom and Canvas modules.




* How to build effective online professional development?




Should we do online learning modules?

Claudio \\u2013 on demand seems to work. I participated in DitchSummit by Matt Miller & feedback I received was they can participate any time, in pajamas
Susan \\u2013 I have had huge success with my own tutorial videos. \\xa0Yes, teachers can look up a youtube video for a question they might have, but if we as the coach make an engaging video to have on hand they, like students, appreciate our voice and delivery.'
