<p>A couple weeks ago, I facilitated a PD workshop at the NJEA Convention. I was teaching a group of mostly high school social studies teachers about the resources that C-SPAN offers for them to incorporate civics into their classes. I modeled a C-SPAN lesson about a controversial issue (gun control), and the participants experienced it more or less exactly like the students would. At the end, they even <a href="http://civiceducator.org/mock-congressional-hearing-social-studies/" target="_blank">participated in a mock Congressional hearing as a summative activity</a>. The first time I presented this workshop several years ago, I did a lot more talking - trying to cover all of the resources that C-SPAN offers. But I found over time that participants enjoyed it much more - and learned more - by just experiencing it. So now I keep the talking part to a minimum (10 minutes up front, 5 minutes on the back-end), and the bulk of a 90 minute workshop is devoted to the participants actually <em>doing</em> something.</p> Every Kid Loves the Tetter-Totter.

<p>Does anyone out there have a procedure in place to accept online learning as professional development?</p>
<p>Other questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>What types of online learning qualities for professional development? (webinars, courses, #chats...) Would they have to be sponsored by an accredited educational institute? How would completion be determined? (a product handed in or certificate?)</li>
<li>At what rate do you give credit? One hour = one hour of PD? What if it is a 45 hour online course? Would it be treated like a college course # hours = certain # of credits?</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks for any information you can add!</p>
