Does your district have enough funds to meet its professional development needs? Do you have the time to go to an all day workshop? If you’re like most teachers, the answer to those questions is “no.” The NH Department of Education offers support for teachers with limited time and money for professional development with the NH e-Learning for Educators program. New Hampshire e-Learning for Educators is run out of the Office of Educational Technology at the NH Department of Education and offers you high quality, cost effective professional development that can increase both your content knowledge and your teaching skills, through OPEN NH. OPEN NH offers facilitated, 7-week courses, and self paced tutorials, delivered in an asynchronous format, and 100% online. No more driving, or trying to find a substitute! You can do it all in an online in a format that gives you the flexibility you need! In this workshop, you will get a brief orientation to the NH e-Learning for Educators project, preparing to celebrate its 10th Anniversary, and an introduction to our asynchronous, online, discussion based learning model. You will collaboratively experience an OPEN NH online course through activities that simulate our online course delivery. A discussion of the flexibility of professional development opportunities available through OPEN NH will be followed by a brainstorming session on what would specifically meet your professional development needs as a teacher in the 21st Century. You are encouraged to bring a laptop with wireless connectivity to access online resources, but it is not a requirement for participation. |
