I went looking for the perfect Webinar this week. To me the perfect professional development webcast is no more than 30 minutes long, between the hours of 3pm-6pm, and I leave with a laundry list of sites, apss, and gagets to test out. This week I attended a webinar hosted by SimpleK12 called Mobile Apps for Crafating Special Holiday Gifts. It began at 6pm and last exactly 30 minutes, including time for questions. Below is a tidbit of the live webinar I attended. This webinar was presented by Shelly Terrell who had a long list of accomplishments in educational technology and classroom experience. Just from the introduction, I knew this was a professionally produced, well reheared webinar that I was going to enjoy. The presenter used a slide format to share her resources and expanded her thoughts and helpful hints on projects, without trailing off the topic. She was sure to cover all device types, software platforms, and holiday celebrations. I took notes from the presentation and now have a page full of ideas, Apps, and websites to use with students this holiday season. This particular presenation would not be entirely appropriate for a class setting, as the material was geared toward teacher instruction , but students might watch it to find resources or project ideas if given an independent assignment where the teacher allowed them to create anything using any of the technology resources presented. Professional learning through webinar is a favorite tool for myself but I find scheduling a live webinar difficult. I tend to choose archived presentations for my presonal and classroom needs. You can better share a great webinar with students if it is archived and show it with multiple classes throughout the day.
