33. Personal PD 40%
From June 4 to June 18 you will develop a personal PD plan. This plan
includes viewing a minimum of 20 hours of educational content including at
least 3 live events . You'll develop a page that includes a brief synopsis of
each event as well as recommendation of 5-8 events centered around a
theme. This theme can be as broad as "school reform" or "storytelling" or
revolve around a specific subject area "math". You'll provide discussion
questions and ideas for utilizing the content for other educators.
OR
What do you Want to Learn? 40%
Based on the one thing you want to learn, I'll provide you with one or two
people to connect with. Through a process of reading, commenting and
searching, you'll build a comprehensive list of resources and ideas that will
support you in your quest. Your page will consist of resources, people,
videos, etc and a summation of how you connected and found the various
content and the degree to which you have achieved what you set out to
learn.

39. Daily Reflections 30%
This might be called blogging but my focus is to observe and
participate in your learning. Given the condensed nature of this
course, it's imperative that you spend time daily in learning.
You'll be asked to blog a minimum of 5 times per week. (15 in
total). These posts would be a reflection of your other work in
class, what other classmates are writing about or observations
about technology and societal impacts on your learning in
general.
