* Six Steps You Need To Take to Create a Successful Online Learning Experience For Your Teachers




Step 1: Identify Learning Objectives

Directly or indirectly correlate to District Goals, Building Goals, and Initiatives.
Content vs. Skills
What vs How PD
How will learning objectives be assessed?


Step 2: Decide where to host your modules.

What should you do before opening the module?

Sketch in Google Docs
Mindmapping Software

Lucid Chart
MindNote




Applications

Schoology
Canvas
Google Sites
Google Forms
WordPress


How to test the module?


Step 3: Integrate teacher needs and wants into module creation.

What topics do they want to learn about?
Allow time to collaborate/share/discuss as a group


Step 4: Decide on a proper framework or workflow

How will the module go?

Utilize BLOOMS


** This is the most important step and can save you A LOT of time when creating future modules.
Self-created videos vs random YouTube videos


Step 5: Give time to reflect/share creations/ and implement

Let teachers create something and implement in their classroom
Have them share the creation
Let them come back and reflect. How did it go? What did you like/dislike? What else do you want to learn to help you more?


Step 6: Highlight their accomplishments with a badge (micro credentialing)

Credly
Schoology Badges (integrated)
Padlet Share Board
