- what can you do in your classroom or your school the day after that you couldn’t do the day before?
- my school adopted a new approach to Educational Technology Integration. We're following an unconference model, and this has meant that we meet weekly, for no more than 1/2 an hour, in small, constantly-changing groups. Before these meetings, staff announce (via the school intranet) what sessions they might be running.
- Staff can then pick a session that suits their fancy - or their professional needs - and these small groups are constantly revolving as people share their new skills with each other.
- ‘How will what I’ve learnt change my practice?’

- There are sessions to choose from and the only requirement is that you attend a minimum number of sessions for the day. Even better, teachers are the ones in charge of decided what will be presented and there are some really great offerings.
- Ideally the solution is on-demand, anytime PD. Great! There is a solution for that. Social Media. Look at #edchat. Teachers come together for an hour and talk about various topics, get ideas, take them back to the classroom, reflect and many blog about their experiences and learn from others. Perfect PD! Or look at the Reform Symposium.
