During my training yesterday, I became qualified to train other educators on how to use Thinkfinity. I’m excited to start sharing this information with educators in my school district and across the state of Delaware as not all of the District’s have Field Trainers yet. I’m especially excited to try using a hybrid training model that would combine person-to-person sessions and online collaboration using tools such as Blackboard. I was speaking with a friend last night who teaches in another school in my District and she suggested we offer some trainings together as she became a trainer last summer. I really like this idea because she is an academic teacher and I’m a vocational teacher so I think we could offer unique training experiences together.

Once that loads, you pick one of four options:

1. I need to create and distribute on-demand professional development content.
2. I need to deliver professional development with live sessions.
3. I need to deliver professional development with live sessions and on-demand content.
4. I need to provide support for online professional development programs.

Adobe then takes you through, step by step, what you need to do to create or deliver professional development in a variety of tech savvy ways! Of course, this uses Adobes products, most of which are not free, but since I have a lot of these I think it will be quite useful!
