This week is the official start of the OKCPS ETS Summer Ed Tech Learning Challenge. This is a four week, 100% online PD during the month of June. Each week a new ed tech challenge is presented to participants via the OKCPS ETS blog. Then participants have the entire week to complete the challenge and post an accountability post on Twitter.
The first week's challenge was to create a professional Twitter account. We want to increase the number of district staff members engaged on Twitter. We also want them to experience the benefits of Twitter, especially related to sharing resources and ideas.
As an extension activity this week, we asked participants already active on Twitter to share 3-5 of their favorite people to follow. I chose to share @gcouros because I am reading the Innovator's Mindset (you should read it if you have not!) I also enjoy following @LeadUpNow and it's thoughts about educational leadership. Finally, I mentioned @ShakeUpLearning since her Google stuff is too cool!
Don't forget to follow the hashtag #OKCPSetlc to see all of the cool things our staff members are learning in June. Also be on the look out for the Back to School ETLC and School Webmaster ETLC, both in July!
