Subscribe to YouTube channels and view videos for Professional Development.
According to Alexa.com, YouTube is the 3rd most visited website in the world. YouTube content has greatly evolved over the years and is now, among other things, an amazing source of thought-provoking videos. When you subscribe to a few channels, YouTube will send you a single weekly email showcasing some of the new videos posted on your favorite channels (you can also unsubscribe from the email service if you prefer not to receive it). It’s an easy and efficient way to stay up to date regarding various issues in education. Before you can say “Got It” for this PD Tile, you should watch at least two PD relevant videos from each of the following four channels:

Edutopia’s goal is to document what works in education. | |

The DevPro channel is a special project where the pedagogical advice of some of the top teacher trainers in Quebec is recorded and offered in short multimedia presentations. There are many topics to choose from and the videos are great conversation starters. |
Of course, you can take things even further by sharing your favorite PD videos with colleagues.
