We’re going to be participating in an innovative format for professional development in a few weeks–the National Council of Teachers of English is hosting a Virtual Conference. This will be a three-day event spread out over several weeks: April 15, April 20, and May 10. We’re looking forward to it, but also are thinking about ways to make this useful. As more low-cost online solutions pop up–webinars, webcasts, and e-learning–we’re thinking about what makes for good and bad presentations in digital environments. What advice do you have for us? How do these translate to student learning in similar formats?

At AEA267 in Iowa, we have been doing webinars this year as a way support teachers in their implementation and not take them out of the classroom as often as we have in the past. We have found that participants like the opportunity to “chat” or interact with us and others, rather than passively listening.
