Flipped PD Navigation

Video tutorials have been available to educators for many years. However, there is currently great momentum for using video resources for “flipped learning”. In the case of teacher professional development, there is great potential for “flipped” professional development, or Flipped PD. Conceptually, the ISD 477 Flipped PD would be a series of short videos (and some written content) created primarily by teachers and technology staff within the district.

Teachers, just like students, prefer watching a video or reading content created by someone they know. This is basic human nature. We need to feel a connection with our teachers and staff whether they are face-to-face or virtual. There are a variety of ways to use video and written content in a flipped PD environment. In addition to the typical how-to videos, we could create videos to showcase student projects, to share best practices, and to provide specific instruction on District or building tools and resources. Below is a navigation to District 477 Flipped PD content:
