Proliteracy offerings may help - they are on line; also US Dept. of Education has new on line products for adult educators with OVAE ________________________________ From: professionaldevelopment-bounces at nifl.gov [mailto:professionaldevelopment-bounces at nifl.gov] On Behalf Of Lobaccaro Gina (DOC) Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 4:20 PM To: The Adult Literacy Professional Development Discussion List Subject: Using Listservs, Online Meetings, Online Learning Circles, Communities of Practics to encourage technological uses of PD I am investigating the use of technological tools to build and enhance teacher professional development during these days of financial cutbacks. It is my understanding that the State of Delaware has left no money in the budget for professional development during this year of such a shortage of funds. As it happens, I have just returned to work on my EdD (Educational Doctorate) at the University of Delaware, so I hope to offer my expertise and work on projects that will give teachers in Delaware opportunities to create their own opportunities for professional development. I am writing this to this listserv to solicit ideas and suggestions for how other states and professional groups have taken on the development of professional development opportunities without a great deal of funding provided by the states or the federal government. I will be creating a bog, for the project for the class I am taking this semester - Cognition & Technology, to document and provide sounding board for Delaware adult educator and other adult educators who have used technology to enhance the effectiveness of low cost/high quality professional development opportunities for teachers. I am an adult educator and an correctional educator. I am the media & technology specialist for the Prison Education program that is administrated by the Delaware Department of Education, but I do not expect this conversation to be limited to Adult Education professional development. But, I will take suggestions that I might use to strengthen the opportunities for adult educators' professional development in Delaware. The Adult Education Professional Development organization for Delaware is DAACE. I look forward to a lively conversation on this topic.
