Powerful Professional Development Thanks to Global Connections with Craig Kemp - PTE011

Pushing The Edge with Greg Curran

It's a phrase that's often met with groans and rolls of the eyes - Professional Development.

But what if you could tailor that Professional Development or PD to your circumstances - making it relevant to you and your class?

And what if you had access to ongoing support and advice at any time of the day?

Well that's the situation for many educators today - as they reach out and connect with others like them across the globe.

In this Episode:

• What is WhatisSchool?
• What are the benefits of connecting globally?
• How do you overcome your self doubts, or lack of time and connect?
• What are Mystery Skypes and how do you get them going?
• How do you stay true to yourself?
• But that's not all. We also have the Lightning Round where quick answers are the name of the game.

Here we're scrutinising Thriving, Ignition, Voice and Connection.And to bring us home, Education, a Bucket and Fire.
