In taking this course, I better understand what it takes to create a professional learning sessions. Conducting interviews, creating/giving/analyzing surveys, planning and evaluation are all aspects of creating a relevant professional learning session. Through this course I was able to use Google Forms to create and analyze results. I like how easy Google Forms is to use and how the results are graphed and can be easily downloaded to a PDF file to save and share with others. The professional learning plan helped me organize my information and helped me plan for the kind of professional learning session I needed to have. The evaluation piece helped me see why evaluation is so important and how to use evaluation to plan for future professional learning sessions.
Through this course I was able to take on the responsibility of creating a professional learning session. I was very nervous about this at the beginning. However, once I started getting into the class and realized what my professional learning need was, I was not as stressed. Since completing this professional learning session and giving a survey to those that attended, I have been able to identify my next professional learning session...Online Tools for the Classroom!
That's great that this course allowed you to feel more comfortable and confident about holding a professional learning session. I, too, loved using a Google form to create a survey. I found the ease of feedback and generation of data very helpful when planning and will definitely be using this tool with some regularity in the future.
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of different elements that went in to planning and implementing this session and it sounds like you have put them all together for your benefit and the benefit of those you taught and will continue to teach. Well done!
