This document outlines Mandy Dinsmoor's individual teacher professional development plan for technology for the 2016-2017 school year. The plan identifies three areas for professional development: teaching students to track changes in Word, use podcasts and take notes, and maintain a class discussion blog. Dinsmoor plans to monitor various online resources and use strategies like Twitter, Remind, and a podcast app to support student learning. Goals include having students practice editing in Word, listening to and discussing a Serial podcast, and maintaining a class blog on Weebly with monthly posts and comments. Dinsmoor will check student work and provide guidance to help them develop these technology skills over the course of the school year.
