It's Time: Share Your Summer Reading Stack #cyberPD

Time sure does fly!  Here we are already in May.  You know what that means...it's time to think about our #cyberPD book selection.   This event is always at the top of my summer learning list.  This year will be our eighth year of learning together as a community.

Each summer the #cyberPD community chooses a professional book to read and discuss in the month of July.  The event has certainly grown since its first year which began with less than fifteen people, but the community has remained collaborative.  You can join the conversation and see past years' discussions in our #cyberPD Google Community.

Here are the books selected since 2011: 

• 2011 Conferring:  The Cornerstone of Reader's Workshop by Patrick Allen
• 2012 Opening Minds by Peter Johnston
• 2013 Who Owns the Learning by Alan November 
• 2014 Reading in the Wild by Donalyn Miller
• 2015 Digital Reading:  What's Essential by Franki Sibberson and Bill Bass
• 2016 Do It Yourself Literacy by Kate Roberts and Maggie Roberts
• 2017 Dynamic Teaching for Deeper Reading by Vicki Vinton

Share Your Stack

To get started, we first need to select our book for the 2018 July virtual book talk.  To help to do this, we are asking the #cyberPD community to share their book stacks.  By May 30th, please share the professional books you hope to read this summer.  Participants can share their stacks using the Twitter hashtag #cyberPD and post in our #cyberPD community under the "share your book stack" tab.  We'll select the title from these stacks.  It seems there are always about three that show up across stacks.   

The #cyberPD selection announcement will be made June 2nd!  We want everyone to have time to get their books and mark their calendars.  We're looking forward to this amplified learning opportunity with all of you.  Join us.  

Share your stack....and join the fun.
