Teachers and administrators alike are often frustrated by their lack of time for professional development. Sure, we have PD days, but that is never enough. There is a solution out there that I find charming, easy to use and full of good content - that is Simple K12. Check out their Webinar page - there are some fabulous free webinars. I attended one of the "Day of Learning" webinars last week which included Gaga for Google and Flipping your Classroom with Khan Academy. I found these webinars full of information and very inspirational.
They list the following top 7 reasons to use Simple K12 Professional Development:
- PDNPJ™ – Professional Development in Pajamas!
- Practical Knowledge From Experts and Peers
- Shared Resource
- New Material Added All The Time
- Easy Collaboration
- Printable Progress Reports
- Options for Multi-User licenses
But I think the number 1 reason to use Simple K12 is the easily navigated site that includes as much valuable FREE content as possible while offering a nominal charge for access to their full site.
After taking my "Day of Learning" I shared it with the other Administrators at our school. Now we are planning a pilot launch of SimpleK12 for our faculty. Really, you should check this out.
Special shout out to Kimberly Warrner, the Community Manager at@SimpleK12. [Thanks for the introduction to a great day of training!]
